The chapter explores the concept of burnout as a triad of physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion resulting from overwhelming stress, discussing the pillars of exhaustion, cynicism, and ineffectiveness. It details the phases of burnout, from the alarm phase to chronic adaptation and highlights the importance of recognizing early signs of burnout and seeking professional help when needed.
Exhausted, cynical, and ineffective? You could be experiencing burnout. In this candid conversation, Dr. Neha Sangwan provides a radical reframe, defining burnout as a profound mind-body disconnect from ignoring our core needs while chasing society's narrow "success."
