A uniquely qualified expert offers critical diagnostics and tools to help you stay on fire at work and in life-without burning outBurnout has become an epidemic. But burnout is not merely a case of working too hard or feeling physically exhausted for an extended period of time, and it isn't a personal failure. According to physician, executive coach, and speaker Dr. Neha Sangwan-an expert empowering corporate leaders and organizational teams to excel under pressure-burnout is due to prolonged stress and an ongoing net drain of energy on one or more of five levels: physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual. When we are burned out, our productivity suffers, our health declines, and we are more reactive in our relationships. Not having the resources to handle challenging circumstances, address conflict, or engage in healthy boundaries further worsens stress and dysfunctional situations in our professional and personal lives. Burnout is also a wake-up call. To reverse it, we need a different kind of prescription-one that addresses burnout on the levels where it's happening and replenishes our energy with simple, powerful steps toward healing.In this book, Dr. Sangwan helps you identify on which of the five levels-physical, mental, emotional, social, or spiritual-burnout is occurring. Once you identify your biggest energy drains, she equips you with powerful tools that enable you to expand your awareness, transform your mindset, communicate with integrity, and align your decision-making with what matters most. When you understand how to identify and heal burnout, you have the power to reconnect to yourself, your colleagues, your community, and the meaning of your work in a new and profound way.
