The Hidden Root of Burnout
Story★★★★According to the Minirth and Meier book How To Beat Burnout, resentment is
far more responsible for burnout than overwork. “In our counseling ministries, we
have seen literally hundreds of examples that verify a close connection between
bitterness and resentment and the experience of symptoms that we call burnout ....
Bitterness leads to burnout ... and freedom from bitterness is necessary for effective
recovery from burnout.”
The point
Citing the Minirth and Meier book on burnout, this piece argues that resentment and bitterness, not overwork, are the real driving causes of burnout, and freedom from bitterness is necessary for recovery.
