Review of Back After Burnout
Back After Burnout is a motivational self-help book written primarily by Dennis Consorte. With a profound understanding of the challenges faced by professionals dealing with burnout, this book offers a comprehensive roadmap to recovery spanning thirty-three chapters.
As the book begins, the author candidly shares his journey through burnout. He delves into the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly its role in "The Great Resignation," and how it shaped his own burnout experience. What follows is a masterpiece dedicated to helping readers find professional joy and embark on a transformative journey toward burnout recovery. The book introduces the innovative MASHPLAY™ framework, a collection of powerful tools and ideas that serve as its foundation. It incorporates the author's unique lessons, invaluable advice, and personal stories. Furthermore, it features insights from esteemed experts such as Dr. Mark Goulston, Dr. Troy Hall, Kevin Hogan, and Larry Sharpe. Their contributions enrich the book, offering diverse perspectives and expert guidance that complement the author's work.
There are several aspects of this book that I truly appreciate. First, the language used throughout is refreshingly simple and easy to grasp. The author's inclusion of personal anecdotes enhances the relatability of the discussed concepts, which I found to be a valuable touch. Additionally, the book offers practical and actionable exercises that are easy to follow, making it a genuinely useful resource. One particular highlight for me was the breakdown of the concept of "Ikigai." While I had heard of this term before, the author's explanation and application in exercises clarified it for me in a way that I hadn't previously understood. I was also impressed by the extensive research that underpins the book, especially in the development of the MASHPLAY™ framework. The author builds upon existing work and optimizes it for the reader's ease and efficiency. Also, the inclusion of free downloadable resources with links within the book is a thoughtful addition, enhancing the overall value of the book.
My only criticism lies in its length. Although the book lacks redundant pages or chapters, it is undeniably a lengthy read. While the content is engaging, I would have preferred a slightly shorter version for the sake of brevity. This is my personal opinion.
I found only two errors in the book. The book was professionally edited. Therefore, I rate this book five out of five stars. I found the book insightful and encouraging. I was very satisfied with the book and will be reading it again, putting to work the lessons I picked up from it. As a result, I could not rate it any lower. I recommend this book to employees, business owners, and anyone experiencing burnout.
