Synopsis

Burnout has become one of the most talked about workplace topics, and its impact is far-reaching. The 24/7 pace of work, constant demands, and scant resources can easily put busy professionals on a path to burnout, a cycle that has only accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Burnout affects the health and well-being of the entire organization, yet most attempts to help focus on quick-fix strategies aimed at individuals. Something is missing. In Beating Burnout at Work, Paula Davis, founder of the Stress & Resilience Institute, provides a new framework to help organizations prevent employee burnout. Davis's research-driven, actionable book is the first of its kind to explore a new solution to the burnout problem at work: a comprehensive approach focused on building the resilience of teams of all sizes. Beating Burnout at Work explores: how Davis navigated her own burnout as a lawyer, and how that led her to launch a business with the aim of helping organizations and their employees become more resilient; how teams and leaders can utilize simple, science-backed strategies to create cultures that promote resilience and well-being and reduce burnout; how the Mayo Clinic has developed a powerful model to reduce burnout in its organization; how organizations dealing with high-stress challenges, including the US Army, work to increase resilience in a systemic way; and more.

Goodreads review by Tony

Some good insights from Paula Davis on what causes burnout and how we can combat it. Though I felt that the book was constructed in a haphazard way. The segments aren't the most logical to follow, and I was hoping for something very structured with action items that were easy to follow. Though that......more

Goodreads review by MrsEnginerd

Disclaimer: I'm very well versed in this space, in this subject matter, and with most of the body work that makes the book make sense (Grit, Quit, Outliers, Dale Carnegie, etc.). My company is sponsoring a book club where we are getting extra data and discussions, which in of itself enhances the val......more
