Practical advice for tackling burnout
With the pace of life becoming ever busier, and the demands placed on us all both personally and professionally getting heavier, as a society we're seeing more people than ever getting burned out - tired, ill and unhappy.
As somebody who is self employed and has gone through some mental and physical health challenges, I read this book as an acknowledgement that I was burnt out.
The author offers some practical advice on recognizing burnout, recovering from the symptoms of fatigue and apathy, and how to set good habits to avoid future burnout.
This is a useful short read for anyone who needs to gain control of a hectic life.

I’m currently very interested in learning about burnout so when I saw the title of this book it seemed like a good bet. Unfortunately what I found was a book with more rambling than structure, that did not see a copy editor (I found an entire paragraph duplicated), and with sometimes contradictory information: do less! But also do more!

Let me explain my two-star review by breaking this book down into the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
The Good: Its core message and prescription is great. First, you assume a growth mindset by realizing you can change and then you clarify your purpose, build your resilience, and learn how to focus. Counterintuitively, it works. At least it feels like it does, as I’m working through it myself at this very moment.
The Bad: The book’s structure often feels like an incoherent set of loosely related blog posts, at times written by an underpaid freelancer trying to stuff keywords for search engine optimization. I often found myself missing a more consistent narrative, when the author jumped back and forth between very different thoughts.
The Ugly: Trying to make its reasonable abstract concepts more concrete, the author races through a multitude of various methods and techniques, at a speed that suggests she had a very tight deadline. “Peak performance habit” is mentioned in the passing, before “radical acceptance” is name-dropped, and then “deep work” is glanced over. I wanted to give up when the author started promoting woo-woo like “developing your psychic abilities” and relying on “the law of attraction”, despite claiming she based the book on sound science. Wanting a book to help with burnout, I felt left with a Frankenstein’s productivity system instead.
In summary, there are a few good nuggets in here but they are lost in the vast amount of fluff. Some tough love from a ruthless editor could make the second edition worthwhile but, until then, I’d recommend another book for learning about and dealing with burnout.

Okay
It was okay.
I've read a lot on the topic and it aligned with others.
I did appreciate the ideal reader might be someone struggling with work burnout.

A bit messy, but otherwise a handy and ispiring guide to get out of the state of burnout and head for changes in life.
