Book excerpt: In A Christian Approach to Work and Family Burnout: Calling, Caring, and Connecting, Thomas V. Frederick and Scott E. Dunbar provide a Christian spiritual model to prevent and cope with burnout caused by the workplace and conflict with family. Coupled with indifference and lack of urgency, burnout eliminates a sense of purposefulness and results in psychological depletion. To counter this, Frederick and Dunbar stress the importance of connecting with God in order to understand intrinsic motivations and redefine work as a calling and means to care for others.
