Synopsis

In this powerful book, happiness expert Jennifer Moss explains why burnout is so rampant—and provides simple, researched-based solutions for helping employees minimize stress and building happier workplaces.

We tend to think of burnout as a problem that we can solve with self-care: more yoga, better breathing techniques, and more resilience. But evidence is mounting that applying band-aid solutions to an epic workplace phenomenon isn't enough. If we're going to solve this problem, organizations must take the lead, developing an anti-burnout strategy that moves beyond apps, wellness programs, and perks.

In this eye-opening, conversation-shifting, and practical guide, Jennifer Moss lays bare the real causes of burnout and how organizations can stop the chronic-stress cycle that an alarming number of workers suffer through. The Burnout Epidemic explains: how burnout happens—and what to do about it; how traditional wellness initiatives fall short; how to build a strategy based on prevention, not perks; how to measure burnout in your organization; and how to develop a happier culture that's high on resilience and curiosity.

As the pandemic has shown, self-care is not the cure for our problems. We need to do more. With the help of fascinating research, new findings from the pandemic, along with interviews with leaders around the globe, listeners will find insightful and actionable advice in this book—and will feel empowered to help themselves and their employees feel healthier and happier.

Great book for leaders in the business, but not as many tips/tricks for those who don’t have power over decisions in the workplace. However, there were a lot of good studies and research mentioned that an employee could take to an employer to help them deal with burnout.......more

Goodreads review by Traci on February 14, 2022

I think this was good but honestly, there's a LOT in this book. I was also trying to read it online while on my lunch breaks, which just doesn't work well for non-fiction books. I tend not to retain as much for some reason. I will say that I very much appreciate the author's stance that it's the *org......more
