Abstract

In this article I describe Rosa's theory of resonance. I argue that resonance has a relevance in a capitalist society. Following this, I explore both losing and having career resonance and how this impacts well-being and has association with psychological burn-out. Next, I introduce career resonance and suggest how career professionals may help clients to foster resonance through their work. Finally, I emphasise that career resonance has a part to play in addressing psychological burnout and that career professionals may be called to deepen understanding and form collaborations with well-being professionals. In conclusion, I emphasise that human beings are born resonant and that career resonance has a relevance to everyone.
