What do we do when we realize we are suffering from that contemporary epidemic, the burnout syndrome? What do we do when our life becomes characterized by a sense of meaninglessness, by a loss of passion, by fatigue and depression? What do we do, that is, besides divorce our spouses, drink ourselves into oblivion, drug ourselves insensate, drown ourselves in shopping or television or sports, or try to simulate passion with gambling, pornography, or illicit sex?
