I Should Be Burnt Out By Now... So How Come I'm Not? (ePub)

"An uplifting ready for anyone with a hectic and stressful life,
which is, let's face it, all of us." -- Neil Bradford,
Managing Director, Forrester North America

There has been a great deal of talk during the past two decades
about the serious problem of stress and burnout. Most of the
discussion focuses on the pessimistic side of the story. The
underlying assumption is that we are in a fierce struggle, one that
we frequently lose. Burnout is presented as almost inevitable, and
solutions focusing on recovery are offered.

But there is another, more optimistic side to the story. What about
the people who endure tough times with courage and grace, or bounce
back from crises with renewed energy when logic tells you the
situation should have left them depleted and discouraged? For all
the talk about burnout, the fact is that the majority of people
spend most of their lives coping amazingly well.

Being good at not burning out is a skill more than a genetic
personality trait. Just like any skill, you have to work at it. You
can learn to manage your behaviour and your thinking, but it takes
discipline and practice to do it.

There are thousands of success stories every day about people who
continue to survive and make the best of tough times. So how do
they do it? What are the real stories of how individuals survive
and thrive during uncertain and difficult times? And what is their
advice on preventing burnout? This book answers these questions.
