Australia’s best-selling 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 well-being 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 humor, straightforward language, and her signature illustrations, Bev clearly explains what burnout is, who is at risk, how to recognize 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.
