Mayo Clinic Strategies to Reduce Burnout

Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 0190848960
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 329

Book Description
"In this book, we tell the story of burnout of health care professionals. Many believe burnout to be the result of individual weakness when, in fact, burnout is primarily the result of health care systems that take emotionally healthy, altruistic people and methodically squeeze the vitality and passion out of them. Burned-out professionals are exhausted, jaded, demoralized, and isolated, and they have lost their sense of meaning and purpose. Frequently, these individuals are shamed and blamed by leaders who suggest they should sleep longer, meditate, and become more resilient even as they expect them to work harder, see more patients, embrace rapidly changing technology, stay abreast of new medical advances, and provide quality health care"--Provided by publisher.

Languages : en
Pages : 362

Book Description
This edited collection challenges the common preoccupation with knowledge acquisition and academic achievement by comparing the aims and cultural beliefs which drive education in different countries throughout the world. Through case studies from countries in Asia, Latin America, Africa, and Europe, the authors present how education can be approached holistically to foster student happiness and well-being. The book illustrates wide-ranging interpretations of what it means to provide a "good education," and how student-centered, holistic approaches to learning can be effective in promoting creativity, tolerance, student well-being, and an appreciation of environmental and societal responsibilities. Based on rigorous mixed-method empirical research, it highlights how the integration of happiness in education can not only enhance academic excellence but can also have a positive impact on the students’ overall well-being. This cutting-edge book focuses on the holistic development and well-being of students and will be a relevant reading for educators, researchers, and students in such diverse fields as psychology, the sociology and philosophy of education, intercultural education, education policy and politics, leadership/management, mental health, and international and comparative education.

Pages : 70

Book Description
Happiness, for many, seems as elusive as a snow leopard in the Himalayan Mountains. But within this handbook, a simple research paper, we will find that a joyous life is not a pipedream; it is within our grasp. Mark A. Albert reveals this truth when he compares what the Bible says about happiness, to insights from a multitude of current, peer-reviewed studies. An ancient text and modern scientific knowledge are juxtaposed to bring hope to those battling discouragement. The Happiness Handbook pulls back the curtain, allowing us to see that, with a few simple adjustments, we can reset our physical, emotional, and spiritual systems back to the original factory specifications of health and wellness. When we reboot the mechanism, it will activate our built-in, happiness response. This joyous lifestyle, however, does not simply fall into our lap. We must be actively involved in the process. We must make some conscious choices. How, exactly, are we to become involved in resetting our systems? What conscious choices must we make to reboot the mechanism? In a unique twist, Albert reveals that we are like a five-speed manual transmission vehicle. Each gear is precisely designed to increase our momentum and trigger happiness within. As we shift from one gear to another, a joyous life will unfold before us, and despair will become a memory, disappearing in our rearview mirror. With the wind in our hair and joy in our heart, we will navigate the highway of life with a newfound happiness.
