Finally! A way to let go and focus on what's important

Mary clearly writes from her experiences which is why this book is superb. An added bonus for me personally is that she comes from the high tech industry. For every roadblock and mindblock I have experienced each chapter of the book has an answer. Mary knows that when you're burned out you can't take having another 'to do' list so she has created a book that tackles one obstacle per chapter. Her personal experiences have provided her with the unique ability to know the order to approach each of the obstacles that need to be worked through. The chapters are short and action oriented. The book gets you moving quickly and easily onto a path of clearing the clutter and achieving what you really want. The beauty of this book is that the exercises apply to both your work and personal life. As a result I can't remember ever having felt as confident, happier and stronger than I do today. Results are quick!

Burnout is not the cost of success

My job was killing me, or so I thought. Like most professionals, I believed that the higher I went up in my career ladder, the more stress I needed to shoulder, and the less time I had to actually live life. I thought that giving 150% was the price for being successful, and that ulcers were a normal part of the rat race.I was wrong - "the job" doesn't burn you out, your own mindset does! I learned how to stop being a slave to my email, voicemail, celphone and pager, and not only get all my work done, but of a higher caliber than before. This book walks you, step by step, through the process of taking control back and a being truly successful person - happy, healthy, and productive!A must read for anyone who even suspects they may be burning out, in easy to handle chunks. I highly recommend it.

Break Free From Burnout!

Mary Lewis has a clear and well thought out style. Instead of trying to change everything at once, she reccommneds a new item a day. Each new way of looking at your worklife builds on what you practiced the day before. Each item is readable in a quick burst instead of long chapters that overwhelm.The examples are clear and a reflect the things most overacheivers (myself included) believe. Changing those commonly held beliefs allow you to be more productive and more healthy! HIghly reccommned!

I Broke Free

I have read this book and followed many of Ms. Lewis' suggestions. As a healthcare professional, I have suffered burnout, numerous times. I was told it came with the job.I love my work but didn't love the stress levels. Ms. Lewis' suggestions are very helpful! I don't overload my schedule nor do I volunter to be everything to everybody anymore. I chose those areas that are near and dear to my heart and stay with them. I am very happy. My stress level is VERY manageable.This book was very helpful and well written so even, I could understand.

Beat Burnout and Succeed

Great book coming from someone who's been there done that, which makes all the difference. You wouldn't buy a cookbook from someone who has never cooked. Mary covers the bases and shows you how to beat burnout effectively and forever.
