Burning Out Won't Get You There: Cultivating Wellbeing to Successfully Lead Social Change

It was the title that attracted me to this book. I had "burned out" of a job and recently started a new job, so I know what it means to go through 18 years of working at the wrong place. I was burned out, and it most certainly didn't get me there. Great examples of what it means to be burned out and what to do about it. Great book.

I adore the loving and caring message conveyed in this book about avoiding burnout. I found this resource at a time when I really needed to hear these lessons. Since listening over several months to the audiobook, (I tend to have about 7 books going at the same time) I absorbed the information and was able to implement changes in my work and life balance and style. Last year at this time I was overwhelmed, tired, and ready to quit a job I had thrived in for 11 years. Today I have support in my work, I have learned to express my overwhelm in a meaningful way and I understand the importance of turning off and tuning into my personal life. I am more alive. I am more vital. I have more energy. I feel more in control and calm while remaining just as busy.

If we ever needed a book like this, it's now. Thank you for bringing light to such a crippling issue in our lives. Burnout is all around us, and most people learn how to live with it instead of getting rid of it. Davida does such a great job in breaking it all down for us to be able to get back to a life of enjoyment and peace. A great addition to my library.

I'm inspired to more intentionally create time for personal practices, and be conscious of the different matrial art moves I could use to healthily do the work I do. This book came at the right time for me and very interestingly I could associate with most of the root causes of burnout that were highlighted.
