Case study no. 6: Xavier Palento (age 40), Owner of famous pub

He is the owner of a British original pub in a little town in Abruzzo. The pub was open in the 1997 and it was successful at the beginning, but Mr. X.P. was exhausted for the big work, few sleep, irregular feed, difficulties in communicate with the employees.

He was nervous, stopped the relation with his “historic” girl-friend, have had a few car accidents, started arguing with the employees and some clients. He was able to understand the sickness and he started a challenging psychotherapy cycle.

Today Mr. X.P. is in a good shape, he stabilized his life within the boundaries of a normal discipline (sustainable working time table, rest time, meal time, quality of foodstuff and social and professional relationship); he is aware of the great risk he lived during the period 1999-2004 and he is very careful to avoid any possibility of a burnout restart.
