Burnout isn’t just stress—it’s a full-system breakdown that affects your mind, body, and performance. For professionals and researchers, this book delivers a science-grounded yet approachable plan for restoring balance, rebuilding resilience, and reclaiming energy.
With clarity and practicality, it explores the biological, psychological, and environmental drivers of burnout—then offers evidence-based solutions you can apply immediately. You’ll uncover how rest cycles repair cognitive function, why boundaries protect long-term productivity, and how micro-habits can reignite motivation without overhauling your entire life.
Presented in a casual but authoritative voice, this guide bridges research with actionable tools: strategies for recovery, frameworks for self-assessment, and methods to track progress in meaningful ways. Instead of quick fixes, it provides a roadmap for sustained renewal.
If you’re ready to move from exhaustion to equilibrium, this book equips you with the knowledge and strategies to recover fully, perform better, and live with more energy and joy.
