Engaging and accessible. A recommended purchase for collections where self help and psychology are popular.
Great explanations on how the experience of trauma can lead to increased burnout in all facets of life. Love the practical advise on how to deal with negative stress and reset your life. Best self-help book I’ve read this year!
I loved the research topic for this book, and I was able to identify with the types of burn out, and how it eats away at you until you have gone too deep. I think for a book as short as it is, that it spends a lot of time setting up the premise of how it will help you later on in the book. I found the examples lacking depth, and feeling very dry which made it hard to concentrate on the content. They seemed more like caricatures of people and situations, rather than a fleshed out person I could relate to. I believe this book could benefit from images to help guide the reader through the science behind burnout.
If you are feeling exhausted, overworked and stressed, you should read this book! It discusses the signs and different stages of burnout and even suggests self-assessments you can take to explore your individual situation.
I appreciated that the author explores the mind and body connection by outlining the physical and psychological issues as well as the internal and external pressures that impact people’s well being and stress levels. Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for this advanced reader copy. I highlighted so many lines on my kindle to refer back to in continuing my journey to destress.
