#45 - Corey Keyes- Languishing: How to Feel Alive Again in a World That Wears Us Down - Running on Empty- Part 1

"We are hungry to feel our lives matter and that we belong!" is a quote from Psychologist and Sociologist Corey Keyes, in his new book "Languishing: How to Feel Alive Again in a World That Wears Us Down" and so is this: "Burnout might capture the prevailing mood of a generation—or a planet—although technically speaking, it’s not a mental health condition, but an “occupational phenomenon” that describes a mismatch between your workload and the resources you have to do it, which allows chronic stress to build up. The two conditions can feel similar at times, but burnout is a much narrower term. That said, burnout can leave you so demoralized that languishing takes hold. When you’re constantly stretched too thin by work, it’s hard to find joy or meaning in the activities that you once found greatly fulfilling." In stead Corey Keyes talks about Flourishing !
