From the Introduction of How Burnout Stops
"As I’m sure you’re aware, when one begins a journey into understanding stress and burnout, the advice comes thick and fast. Like many psychological disorders and experiences, burnout is a subject of extensive research and ongoing debate. Even the concept of burnout is subject to disagreements and multiple definitions, depending on the resources you explore. The aim of this book is to be as practical as possible, only commenting on these debates when necessary.
Instead, this book offers practical advice and strategies that are based on the latest understandings of stress and burnout. It discusses what individuals and organisations can do to help stop the experience of burnout and prevent it from returning. While brevity was a deliberate aim in producing this book, further resources will be suggested for if any specific area piques your interest.
There are real solutions to the problem of burnout, and you can being making changes within the hour to help you better cope with stressors. Burnout does not have to be a permanent part of your life. It does not need to be an issue that stops you from doing what you love most.
My hope is that this book provides helpful and practical solutions, validating those of you experiencing stress and burnout, and guiding you down a clear path towards experiencing engagement, well-being and fulfilment in your life."
