Overview
Everyone is vulnerable to burnout and anyone can succumb to its effects. Empty suggestions, like ""just relax"" or work sponsored resilience workshops often lead to feeling judged or wasting precious time. Through eight key concepts, therapist Morgan Johnson offers a new way to combat burnout by feeling whole and reconnecting with the world and relationships around you. Each chapter focuses on a different concept and explains the science behind it. Activities, therapy techniques, journaling prompts, and personal anecdotes are shared to help listeners implement the concept in their recovery journey. Although much of the book expands on solutions that help listeners work smarter not harder, Johnson acknowledges that many elements are out of our control--particularly societal, financial, and political systems that depend on exploitation to thrive. Toxic positivity, compassion fatigue, glimmers and triggers, and other key themes are also discussed. This book is designed to support anyone experiencing burnout, including the overworked employee, overloaded parents and caregivers, those suffering from chronic illnesses, and those just starting to feel the initial effects of burnout. Ultimately, the book empowers individuals to improve their mental wellness by leveraging their current situation while moving towards a society rid of burnout.

Morgan Johnson is an author, speaker, and psychotherapist based in Fort Worth, Texas. She provides counseling services primarily for individuals healing through clinical burnout. Her first book, Rebuilding Trust, was published in 2022. Babette Rothschild is an internationally recognized PTSD specialist and bestselling author of seven books translated into twenty languages, including Help for the Helper Updated + Expanded and the 8 Keys to Safe Trauma Recovery Workbook. Dina Pearlman was raised in Teaneck, New Jersey, and went on to attend Carnegie Mellon University. Based in New York City, this actress, stand-up comic, and Audie Award-nominated narrator of over 300 audiobooks is best known for her appearances in Sex and the City (as Ruby Rosen, jeweler extraordinaire) and several Spike Lee films, notably Bamboozled in the role of slick network TV consultant Myrna Goldfarb. In HBO's Bad Education, Dina portrayed Wendy, a member of the doomed Roslyn Board of Ed frantically attempting to cover up missing funds, and Gina in Bo Burnham's Eighth Grade, a sun-block-obsessed mom pulling partygoers aside to apply and re-apply. Dina is recurring on The Good Fight Season 5 as the lawsuit-averse rule-follower Katherine from Human Resources.
