The Burnout Epidemic. How to Save Yourself and Others from Chronic Stress, Insomnia, and Loss of Motivation

If you are burned out — take a break. Will it help? No! This provocative book explains what you really need to do to cool others down and not burn out yourself, and why self-care is far from the best remedy for burnout. The methods gathered here, unlike the usual advice to "get some sleep" and "slow down," address not the symptoms but the very source of the problem. Renowned journalist and social researcher Jen Moss discusses: • 6 main causes of burnout; • work organization methods that will help maintain mental health. • the most useless and the most common ways to combat emotional exhaustion… • …and the most effective. This book is also for managers who worry whether their employees will be able to get out of bed tomorrow. And for everyone who has felt tired, broken, and demotivated.
