I recently finished Breaking the Work Burnout Cycle - A Comprehensive Guide to Conquer Job Exhaustion, Identify Sustainable Success, and Revitalize Your Career and I am blown away by how much I enjoyed it. Ernestine Michels does an amazing job of introducing a five-step burnout resilience formula that is practical and applicable to any workplace. The formula provides readers with the necessary tools to manage and prevent burnout while setting and maintaining boundaries. It emphasizes the importance of self-care and taking breaks which I found to be very helpful. I also appreciated the fact that the book is well-referenced and comprehensive for both employers and employees, providing meaningful change that even the most resistant executives can't ignore. The narration of this audiobook is exceptional; I felt like I was right there with the author.

Employer? Employee? Leave this book by your bedside!

This book is a well-referenced, comprehensive guide for both employer and employee. It’s much easier to put steps for improvement into place if you are supported at work. So buy a copy for you AND your boss.
As a past school principal, I have worked on both sides of the burnout problem. I would have been able to make very good use of this book, which is actually a guide. It is a book to read with pen in hand, to circle, underline and otherwise mark the passages that speak to you directly. They will draw a path that matches your needs on the way to avoid or repair burnout. Including references to professional help if you need it. What I really like about this book is that it shows many paths to the end-goal. As the author says at the book’s closing, “Good Luck”!

So important

Work burnout is real and is common. This book has given me some great things to do and think about in order to avoid complete burnout. I really liked the narrator too. Totally recommend.

The Reality of Burnout

I’m a retail pharmacist, the epitome of workplace burnout! With extremely high metrics and expectations, inadequate staffing practices, and just downright MEAN customers every single day, the pharmacy industry is a recipe for disaster! This book shed some light on an area in so much need for revamping. Reducing expectations, providing adequate staffing, and allowing pharmacists to do the job they spent YEARS in education for would be LIFE-CHANGING for us! This book taught me skills I’ll implement and keep moving forward. Setting boundaries for myself, knowing my limitations, prioritizing, not getting emotionally invested in the environment I find myself in, and leaving work at the workplace are all lessons I’ll carry with me.
