    Hi...while this not specifically related to work, it does discuss stress and spiritual practices that improve health - How God Changes Your Brain by Newburg and Waldman. It is a great read! mel

    Hello,

    The following article of mine presents results of a study using spiritual
    intervention in burnout among industry professionals labeled as 'executive
    burnout'.

    Sharma, Radha, R. 2006. Role of Spiritual Intervention in Executive
    Burnout, Asia Pacific Review, Vol. II, No.2, 25-36.

    Best wishes,

    Subject: Articles Request - Spirituality and Health

    Hello All,

    Can anyone recommend articles/books which discuss how spirituality
    (either one's own sense of spirituality or being in a more spiritual
    oriented organization/organizational climate) may be related to
    improved personal health or wellness?

    I would also be interested in studies that have linked spirituality to
    reduced work stress which in turn is linked to better health.

    If you send your ideas directly to me at jmillima@uccs.edu I would be
    happy to summarize all of possible cites in an email back to this
    listserv.

    I have listed some articles below which have been mentioned in
    previous posts which appear to link spirituality to work stress.

    Thanks much,
