An Introduction to Establishing a Life of Joy is the first book of the F.O.R.G.E My Life (F.M.L) series that is intended to help working professionals master the three dimensions of joy and overcoming burnout, i.e. unmanaged work stress. This book will assist readers: clarify what burnout is, discuss why it is such a big deal, and how to build the capacity to overcome burnout and actively engage with the meaning and purpose of our lives. To this end, An Introduction to Establishing a Life of Joy will also provide an overview of the Fundamental Objectives for Revitalization, Growth and Empowerment (F.O.R.G.E) Framework, which has been developed to address the most common barriers preventing most working professionals from being able to spend their time doing whatever brings them joy.
