In A Christian Approach to Work and Family Burnout: Calling, Caring, and Connecting, Thomas V. Frederick and Scott E. Dunbar provide a Christian spiritual model to prevent and cope with burnout caused by the workplace and conflict with family. Coupled with indifference and lack of urgency, burnout eliminates a sense of purposefulness and results in psychological depletion. To counter this, Frederick and Dunbar stress the importance of connecting with God in order to understand intrinsic motivations and redefine work as a calling and means to care for others.

Pastors play a fundamental role in churches across the globe, yet more and more are finding themselves struggling with the stress of ministry life and experiencing burnout. The consequences of pastoral burnout can be severe and impact not only individuals’ physical, mental, and emotional well-being, but spillover to their families and congregations as well. Despite this increasingly common problem, the subject of pastors and their unique experiences has not been well studied. Caring for our Shepherds is written to pastors and for pastors. In this book, researchers on pastoral burnout, Thomas V. Frederick, Yvonne Thai, and Scott Dunbar answer the questions: what is pastoral or ministry burnout, how can it be guarded against, and how can we help those experiencing it? The reader will not only develop a deeper understanding for the demands of ministry, but also be provided with specific practical and spiritual frameworks to cope with those demands in ways that promote a positive and healthy mindset. Caring for our Shepherds is an excellent resource not only for those in ministry, but to those who desire to pour back into those who serve in the church.

This two-volume set examines the need for a consciousness-based view of leadership, which emphasizes universal human flourishing, as opposed to a resource-based view, which focuses on sustaining a competitive advantage. This approach is built around three main principles: 1) Paradigm (Consciousness is primary, including complementary existence of opposites), 2) Social/Interpersonal (focusing on empathy and compassion), and 3) Individual (experiencing Oneness and expressing creativity). Volume Two is divided into two sections. Each section offers a mix of qualitative and quantitative studies. The first section focuses on consciousness-based development of organizational capabilities such as ambidexterity, flow, and work-life balance. The second section is focused on organizational interventions such as reinvention, meaning-making, well-being, and sustainability. Aligning leadership practices with the notion of an unbounded consciousness, this edited collection will extend literature on organizational culture, leadership, and sustainability, contributing to solving the grand challenges facing humanity.

Workplace spirituality is an emerging field of study and practice and this book asks the questions: Where have we been in the last ten years as a field and where should we be headed in the next ten years? The editors asked these questions of thought leaders from around the globe, leaders who represent different sectors, faith traditions, worldviews and organizational functions. This volume represents the best of current thinking about the state of the field of workplace spirituality and of what the future holds. There are four themes: (1) management themes such as leadership, ethics, change management, and diversity; (2) workplace spirituality in sectors such as health and wellbeing, policing and creative industries, (3) key issues that are emerging, such as self-spirituality, mindfulness, storytelling and the importance of nature, and (4) cutting edge epistemologies and methodologies including indigenous studies, relational ontology, ethnography, and psychodynamics. These articles were chosen to provoke new thinking, new research, and new practice in the field of workplace spirituality, with the goal of helping the field mature in the next decade.
