Excellent book recounting the author's personal journey through burnout... and practical ideas for avoiding burnout occurring or re-occurring! This is a very worthwhile read!

I've always struggled with evaluating books that fall into the broad "self-help" or "leadership" categories. To be quite honest, I don't really like most books in this category. I feel guilty for admitting that because, as a minister, leadership and self-improvement should be pretty high on my
This book, though, has shown me a new way to value this literature as part of my personal formation. What Wayne Cordeiro does, and does so well, is to open up a window into his own experience of leadership burn-out and then trace his path back to wellness. He is very open about the painfulness of the process and offers detailed descriptions of the safeguards he has since put in place to prevent it from happening again. The book's greatest value for me is that I didn't feel the pressure to slavishly imitate the "Wayne Cordeiro Method" of burn-out recovery but the opportunity to assimilate some pieces of the "Wayne Cordeiro Method" into the "Jared Runck Design."
If I ever one day become a leadership guru, this book will most certainly deserve a good part of the credit. It is a book on leadership that doesn't feel like just another book on leadership. It's fresh, inviting, honest, and helpful. It WILL fill your tank if you're leading on empty!
