Statistics on burnout are alarming: Stress and stress-related illnesses cost U.S. businesses and industries approximately 200 billion dollars each year in absenteeism, increased insurance claims, on-site accidents, decreased employee morale, and lowered productivity. Unfortunately, this sobering statistic is only a financial measurement of the problem; the impact of stress on the spirit is far more costly. In high-speed and achievement-oriented workplaces, it's very easy to lose contact with ourselves - our sense of purpose, play, and passion. When this happens, we tend to live more like robots than human beings and consequently, we become less satisfied and productive at work.
