burnout"Job burnout, write Maslach and Goldberg, with its feelings of frustration, ineffectiveness, or failure, is 'a particularly tragic endpoint for professionals who entered the job with positive expectations [and] enthusiasm.'" (p. 56) time"High-investment activities feel so good eventually because they often lead to 'flow', identified in his book of that name by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi--the delightful feeling of being so thoroughly engrossed in what one is doing that time goes fast or is irrelevant, of being immune to distractions and anxiety, of being centered and focused and in control." (p. 58) |
