Burnout: A Guide to Identifying Burnout and Pathways to Recovery is the first complete self-help guide to burnout, based on groundbreaking new research.

Burnout is widespread among high achievers in the workplace, and the problem is becoming more prevalent and profound in its impact. This book contains new evidence-based tools for readers to work out for themselves whether they have burnout and generate a plan for recovery based on their personal situation. Chapters show readers how to recognise their own burnout patterns and how far they may have travelled into burnout territory, and provide research-based management approaches to help them regain their passions and build their resilience.

Offering fascinating new insights into the biology of burnout, and stories from people who have rebounded from it, the book acts as a complete guide for anyone who suspects they may have burnout, for their friends and families, and for health professionals and employers.
