Description
Burnout is increasingly becoming a greater issue for today's society but this book helps readers prevent it from taking over their lives
Increasing numbers of people are enduring huge levels of stress—economic pressures, family concerns, and worries about jobs and health all contribute. And for many, the stress gets worse, increasing until they find they cannot even get out of bed to start the day. Their personality changes, their relationships become strained, and before long they realise that they have hit burnout; their mind, body, and spirit simply cannot take any more. But don't worry, it is preventable—this book enables the reader, wherever they are on the slope toward burnout, to overcome. Even if they are in the middle of it, The Essential Guide to Burnout is the first step towards a full recovery and will provide the tools necessary to ensure that they never go back.

Advance Praise
"Our society has been slow to recognize how common burnout is and how damaging it can be, not just for the person affected but also for their family. In this excellent book, the Procters give you much good advice, especially about the practical things that you can do to aid recovery." Sir Paul Britton, MIND
"With a warm, considered approach and a blend of scientific and humanistic language this book has universal appeal. It is easy to read, enriched with case illustrations, and thoughtfully arranged with many helpful and original suggestions for preventing and managing burnout. I envisage this uplifting but realistic text being enormously beneficial for prevention, in addition to an essential guide for recovery. Whether it is you or somebody you know feeling the strain, the descriptions and explanations will enhance understanding and increase the ability to provide support. I cannot praise this book enough. I wish I'd read this years ago." Dr Jeannette Phillips, MBBS
