Dr. Gaither’s “Reignite” explores an area many mental health clinicians either avoid to discuss with their patients, or are experincing themselves, Job Related Burnout. This book is a thorough exploration of burnout; costs causes, symptoms and, a simple, practical though less traveled way to alleviate the suffering caused by burnout. This step by step guide to engagement helps readers clarify values while using behavioral interventions to start living a meaningful life not just in the work place, but in all other domains of life. Every clinical mental health counselor, substance use disorder counselor, psychologist, and others working in the human services field needs to have a copy of this book in their library for the clients they treat and possibly themselves.

This book by Clark Gaither is a wonderful guide through the difficult challenges of burnout with hope on the other side.
As an executive coach, I see this kind of burnout on a regular basis. Clark has created an easy, go to reference manual on how to move through the process with grace. I highly recommend it to anyone who is trying to find their way.
