The Burnout Ladder: How to Thrive in a Chaotic Workplace (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781068569609)

The pressure on people at work is ever-increasing. Longer hours with an inability to switch off in this 'never off' culture drives chronic stress. In burnout, common symptoms include exhaustion, cynicism, lack of effectiveness and reduced vitality. Its effects are devastating on individuals. Juggling work and home life compounds the issue for many.

It happens so easily, because it often starts with excitement and reward, enticing you to keep delivering and people-pleasing. Somewhere in the process, you lose sight of yourself and what it is that you really want.

The early stages of burnout may lure you onto the path of self-destruction. But, as burnout progresses, you are so entangled in the problems, you fail to see the solutions. Your work-life balance has toppled over. Each stage is like the rung of a ladder, and as you climb higher, you don't realise it is slowly starting to burn...

This book will help you become aware of the signs and the pitfalls; help you navigate where you are on the ladder so you can escape it. There are 6 rungs and 18 tools. In this easy to navigate self-help manual, you will find your way back to thriving and work/life balance once again.
