Brennen Sie … aber bitte nicht aus. Brennen Sie f?r etwas! Arbeits?berlastung und Tempodruck allein f?hren nicht zwangsl?ufig zu einem Zusammenbruch. Vielmehr f?hren fehlende Sinnhaftigkeit und Fremdbestimmung im Berufs- und Privatleben, der Verlust an Werten verbunden mit der verlernten F?higkeit, zu entspannen und sich positiv wahrzunehmen fr?her oder sp?ter zu einem Kollaps. Der Autor des Buches kommt direkt auf den Punkt und stellt grundlegende und entscheidende Erkl?rungen an den Anfang. Statt innerlich auszubrennen, gilt es, im positiven Sinn f?r etwas zu brennen. Dazu kann es hilfreich sein, das eigene Leben mit allem, was einen als Person ausmacht, infrage zu stellen. Runter von den ausgetretenen Pfaden, schl?gt er vor, um neue Perspektiven und Erfahrungen zu wagen. Kaus Biedermann beschreibt unterschiedliche unterst?tzende Verfahren, die er alle aus seiner beruflichen Praxis kennt und pers?nlich erprobt hat. Seine Erfahrung zeigt, dass der Weg zur Heilung so vielf?ltig sein kann wie die betroffenen Menschen unterschiedlich sind. Treffende und unterhaltsame Weisheiten und Gedanken aus aller Welt begleiten die einzelnen Kapitel, ?bungen und ein Selbsttest im Anhang runden das Buch ab. Burn-Out ist eine Chance zur Wende, so der Autor. Er ermuntert dazu, diese Chance zu einem selbstbestimmten, entspannten und gl?cklichen Leben zu nutzen und die Ersch?pfung in St?rke und Kraft umzuwandeln.
