Synopsis

Australia's bestselling anxiety and mental health expert, Bev Aisbett, tackles a growing mental health emergency: burnout.
Burnout happens when we take on too much, when we think we can do the impossible, at the cost of our wellbeing, our health and even our quality of life. Although the term is often casually tossed about, burnout is no joke – it can impact every area of your life and leave you depleted in every way. After two years of the pandemic and lockdowns, working from home, homeschooling, widespread stress and being on our computers and devices 24/7 and constantly available, the danger of burnout for so many of us is all too real. It can happen to anyone.Using humour, straightforward language and her signature illustrations, Bev clearly explains what burnout is, who is at risk, how to recognise the danger signs and, finally, how to step back from the brink, providing insight and techniques to ease burnout and stop yourself going up in smoke.

This book taught me absolutely nothing. And the comics started to grind my gears. It felt like I was being treated as if I was 14. My burnout was NOT helped, I still don’t know exactly how and why this psychologically affects us and I feel little to no improvement in said burnout.......more

Good for identifying burnout, bad for realistic solutions (“why don’t you cut that out”)......more

Goodreads review by Gloria on June 18, 2023

The book was very informative about burn out, who was more likely to burn out, why we tend to burn out etc. there was some effective strategies to prevent burn out but I wish it focused more on the strategies rather than understanding it. I felt that the strategies discussed was a bit short compared......more

Goodreads review by Thea on March 09, 2024

It was a battle to get through the audiobook version. Visual descriptors of the cartoons would have been useful and inclusive. It reads as a blame game that burnout is the entire fault of the person and not the effects on a human being of systemic, social and economic factors largely beyond their co......more
