About this book
Burnout isn’t just a crisis of energy; it’s a crisis of meaning.
For anyone who needs to hear this: People are not “crazy” just because they are exhausted and their brain feels like a circuit board that someone spilled a sticky chocolate milkshake all over. Dealing with burnout is real, it’s tough, and it’s most certainly not all in one’s head.
Burnout is more than stress, exhaustion, or unmet expectations. It’s a profound disconnect— the result of people working so hard for so long that they lose sight of why they were doing any of it in the first place.
While burnout thrives on stress, fear, unprocessed emotions, energy vampires, and toxic work cultures, its root cause is a loss of meaning.
Beyond Burnout of Meaning isn’t just about theories and statistics; it’s about action.
Here’s the empowering truth: Burnout crumbles in the face of purpose. When people rediscover their Why, even the toughest How becomes conquerable. And no, they don’t need to meditate on a Nepalese mountaintop for a century to find the ultimate Meaning of Life. Meaning is something people can create. Meaning is something people can do.
Beyond Burnout is chock-full of tools to help people deal with the worst symptoms of burnout and lays out a psychology-backed plan for creating real and lasting meaning in their life so that burnout never stands a chance.
