surprisingly common thread. Dr. Fishkin has written the definitive
book on overcoming burnout."
-- "Arnold Fox, MD, author, The Beverly Hills Diet"
"Dr Gerald L. Fishkin brings us in this small book a good summary
of the problem of modern life: we live under stressed conditions at
work, in everyday life in general and in our homes and families.
This stress creates anxiety, depression and eventually the burnout
effect in people who can go as far as becoming completely alienated
and longing for the end of their suffering, including in death.
This is nothing new, but this is increased by two things: the
ever-faster pace of our lifestyle and of course the simple fact
that we live longer. The suffering is perfectly well described and
the solutions are perfectly well explained with a strong emphasis
on the fact that they have to come from within us, and if a no
return point has been reached, they have to be inoculated inside us
in order to reconstruct what stress may have destroyed. The most
important fact in this book is that this burnout concerns everyone
and first of all either those who have to deal with other people's
problems like teachers, priests and doctors, or those who are
constantly under the pressure of superiors or the demands of an
unescapable system."
-- "Dr Jacques COULARDEAU Professor-researcher OLLIERGUES

"This book outlines the dangers of worshipping the trappings of
societal success, and challenges us to redefine ourselves in ways
that support a better sense of who we are. It insightfully explores
the attitudes and values that undermine our well being and provides
a valuable guide from the stress and unrealistic expectations that
binds our creative spirit."
-- "Ronald Wong Jue, PhD, past president, Association for
Transpersonal Psychology"
