A Must for Librarians.

As much as you may enjoy the profession, you may have burnout on a particular job. This book gives you ways to determine if you are burning out and how to handle it. Two reasons for it not being five stars. The author could have cut down on much of the research in the beginning of the book. People can look that up elsewhere. If I am a librarian feeling burned out, I can look that up later. What I want to know is; am I burning out, and what do I do about it? The second problem is with the Internet changing the profession, the book needs to be updated.
