Summary:
"Jonathan Malesic is an essayist, journalist, and scholar, as well as a former tenured professor. In 'The
End
of
Burnout
,' Malesic traces his own history as someone who burned out of a tenured job to frame this rigorous investigation of
how
and
why
so many of
us
feel worn out, alienated, and useless in our
work
. Through research on the science, culture, and philosophy of
burnout
, Malesic explores the gap between our vocation and our jobs, and between the ideals we have for
work
and the reality of what we have to do. He eschews the usual prevailing wisdom in confronting
burnout
('Learn to say no!' 'Practice mindfulness!') to examine
how
our jobs have been constructed as a symbol of our value and our total identity. Beyond looking at what drives
burnout
-- unfairness, a lack of autonomy, a breakdown of community, mismatches of values -- this book spotlights groups that are addressing these failures of ethics. We can look to communities of monks, employees of a Dallas nonprofit, intense hobbyists, and artists with disabilities to see the possibilities for resisting a 'total
work
' environment and the paths to recognizing the dignity of workers and nonworkers alike. In this critical yet deeply humane book, Malesic offers the vocabulary we need to recognize
burnout
, overcome
burnout
culture, and find moral significance in our
lives
beyond
work
."
