I really enjoyed this book. There were many good suggestions provided regarding establishing boundaries and caring for oneself. The book also touched on issues I had not previous linked to burnout such as financial matters, and timeliness.
Attempting to tell someone else or even yourself to not stress is quite an endeavor but I would say this book gives some good places to start. ( )

Part career guide, part mental health manual, and part interpersonal communications guide, this book packs a punch in that every sentence means something and can be unpacked for further thought. Consider Sarah's work a compilation of the best of Blinkist books on everything from personal development to mindset training to health and wellness. This is one of the books that I would return to on the subject of burnout due to its accessibility and ease in reading. Not only are the tips practical, this book manages to be comprehensive without being overwhelming to read. Because the author has personally dealt with burnout, the information provided is not out-of-reach and instead comes across as both motivational and doable. Overall, this curated collection of advice is digestible without losing sight of the original problem it aims to solve.

I was given this book through LibraryThing in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed the content of the book. As someone prone to perfectionism and overworking, I felt like this book was speaking to me. The author discussed many causes of burnout, the symptoms of burnout, and recovery methods to "break out of burnout." I liked that the book was a short, quick read. What brought down my rating is the fact that citations were rarely present. There was no way to verify that the information was correct or, like another reviewer mentioned, that the author was qualified to discuss the topic beyond her personal experience with burnout. The author didn't share her name, which for privacy, I understand, but for the credibility of content, I question. So, I did enjoy the book, but I hoped it could have read more like a nonfiction book and less like a blog post. ( )

When reading a non-fiction self-help book it's important that the sources are properly noted through out the text and the author has the credentials needed to write such a book (this book doesn't list the author?!?!). This made the book off-putting for me. While the book had some helpful information, the overall take-a-away was not realistic. Those in positions of "burn out jobs" don't have the luxuries this book offered as solutions. I think this book would be best fitted for someone who was in a young person, at an entry-level job that didn't have to worry about losing their job because they have other options for income or still have parents supporting them. Most don't. Unfortunately, the font size for the ARC was super small and each page had to be zoomed in on, this won't be an issue in the eBook since that option is already easy to increase font, but those buying the print version will need to be aware of the small font.
Thank you to the publisher for this ARC, opinions stated are my own. ( )
