How to experience joy and pleasure in your work again?

What if you notice that you come home exhausted every day, you have no more energy left for fun activities or, no longer enjoy your work? You may then ask yourself whether you can do something about this. My answer to this would be “yes definitely!”. The scientific literature offers plenty of well-founded advice that I would like to share with you. Applying these tips is sometimes easy, sometimes difficult. But they offer hopeful prospects for more peace and pleasure in your (work) life.
