In our second episode back from hiatus, Steve Okey speaks with Jon Malesic, author of The End of Burnout from University of California Press. They talk about how his early interest in physics and the mysteries of the universe drew him to study theology, how his personal experience with burnout led to his research on it, and where he now situates himself with respect to theology.
Jon Malesic is an author, journalist, and scholar who teaches writing at Southern Methodist University and University of Texas at Dallas. He previously was an associate professor of theology at King’s College in Wilkes-Barre, PA. He earned his BA degree from the Catholic University of America and his PhD from the University of Virginia. He is the author of two books, Secret Faith in the Public Square (Brazos, 2009), and The End of Burnout: Why Work Drains Us and How to Build Better Lives (University of California Press, 2022). For more on Jon Malesic, you can visit his website or subscribe to his Substack newsletter.
