As someone who just recovered - or maybe is still recovering- from a major burnout (with life changing consequences), I just love this article. Especially the first part, know your why. If we had that clear, it would be easier to stir ourselves away from all the rest that adds to the stress. Furthermore, as the definition says, burnout leads to other serious issues, such as depression and anxiety. The sad part about it, is that when trying to climb the corporate ladder, we feel embarrassed to talk about it, and most people end up relying on medication to cover up the issue, without handling its root cause of their issues, the burnout.
