From Burned Out to Fully Charged at Work and in Life

By: Neha Sangwan

Narrated by: Neha Sangwan

Burnout isn't a personal failure. It's a wake-up call.

This global epidemic is not merely a case of working too hard or feeling physically exhausted for an extended period of time. According to physician, executive coach, and speaker 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 burn out, our productivity suffers, our health declines, and we're more reactive in our relationships. Not having the resources to handle challenging circumstances, address conflict, or maintain healthy boundaries worsens stress and dysfunction in our professional and personal lives.

In this book, Dr. Sangwan explains in simple terms the overwhelming experience of burnout, and offers an awareness prescription that helps you determine on which of the five levels—physical, mental, emotional, social, or spiritual—burnout is occurring for you. Once you identify your biggest energy drains, she equips you with powerful tools that enable you to replenish your energy and take practical steps toward healing. Along the way, you'll expand your awareness, elevate your mindset, communicate with clarity, and align your decision-making with what matters most.

“Baking soda alkalizes your system”

Immediately lost me when she made the statement in my title. As an MD she either knows that is not how that works and is therefore lying, or she believes that works and doesn’t realize that baking soda in your bath water will in NO way make your body more alkaline, which would concern me if I was a patient. Book started out alright save for the fact that you can hear her swallowing near the mic. Then the nonsense came out. Don’t bother. There are better books about burnout and how to recover. It’s an important topic and misinformation will only hurt those who are actually trying to make progress.
