Great stuff for creative people, 7 May 2001
By Jeff - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Burnout : How to Put Excitement Back into Your Life (Library Binding)
I got this book because a friend who knows I work as a photographer also knew I was getting pretty burned out on certain parts of the job and pushed me to try it. I was sick of the constant hassle to sell my work and the clients who want the same old stuff and leave no room for creative new ways of working. I was ready to quit. This book is well written (read simple, without big words and pretentious theories). It was easy to understand the theory behind the exercizes in the book and even easier to do them. It's written so you can do it by yourself or with a partner. I definitely liked doing it myself but having a partner who had similar problems would have been good too. The results were very good. I had been compromising and thinking it was the only way to make a living. Now that I don't compromise, I'm making for than I did before and having way more fun. I've only done the one section so far, the one on creativity burnout, but several of the others looked very good too. If all the sections work as well as the one I did, this book could help a lot of people

Amazing book, 7 May 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Burnout : How to Put Excitement Back into Your Life (Library Binding)
I bought this book when I was feeling hopeless about my marriage. It just wasn't fun anymore. What surprised me was that the book, which had been recommended to me by my pastor, covered so much more than just relationship burnout. I did the relationship section first and felt much better. Some of the excitement was back. Then I noticed the chapter on childrearing burnout and, since the source of many of my upsets with my wife went back to how we dealt with the kids, I decided to do the procedures in that section too. This time my wife joined in and we acted as partners on the drills. That was great. It helped the relationship with the kids and also further improved the one with my wife. After that, I realized that my enthusiasm at work wasn't what it once was either, though it hadn't gotten as bad as the homelife, so I did that section, again partnered with my wife. At that point, I came home from work with so much more energy that, not only did the job improve, but life with my wife and kids got better yet. Next thing I was doing the section on creativity and spirituality, again with my wife. There are a couple other sections in the book that I haven't done because they didn't seem like a big issue, but every one of the ones I did was fantastic and they just built on each other. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who isn't having as much fun in life as they used to. I'm not the world's best reader, but the book made everything very simple and yet very effective. It is one of the best things I've ever done for myself.

So much more than I expected, 23 Feb 2001
By Jim Brinks - Published on Amazon.com
I expected that this book might help me get over feeling so burned out on the job. It did! But it also helped me in areas I never expected or realized I needed. After 15 years of marriage, I was feeling less excited about my wife. The excitement is back. So is my feeling about the benefits of fatherhood. It's fun again. I haven't even finished the last chapters yet, but already there's been a big difference. This is such a practical down-to-earth book and yet it's very powerful and lots of fun to read. Thanks.
