Description:
In Reclaiming the Fire, Dr. Steven Berglas examines the lives of corporate executives, business managers, lawyers, athletes, and one "maudlin model" as they struggle to find new meaning and satisfaction in jobs they have mastered. How does one deal with the pressure of "encore anxiety" or the monotony of having to perform one's best skill over and over again? Why is our society convinced that money leads to happiness? Why do highly successful people often set themselves up for disastrous falls?
Expand description
Reclaiming the Fire uses the working world -- not the psychiatric couch -- as a means of understanding the psychological and emotional burdens of success. Dr. Steven Berglas has written an illuminating and useful account of how to balance self-esteem, ambition, and career satisfaction.
