About this list:
Welcome to this list of books, podcasts, and articles about burnout. I’m hoping that this will become a place to find informative information that may be helpful if you are experiencing burnout.
I’ve done my best to compile resources that have been published in the last 5 years or less. The older resources that have been included have been vetted and determined to still provide relevant information or information that may be of interest to a certain cohort of individuals.
While I have read or listened to most, I HAVE NOT personally read or listened to ALL of the resources listed, so please read the disclaimer below.
This list is an ongoing project and will be updated as new and relevant resources are published.
Disclaimer:
This is a list of resources that reflects a very wide range of information, perspectives and opinions.
Compiling this list is not to be taken as a recommendation or endorsement of any of the information offered by these resources. All ideas and opinions are the ownership of the authors. Also, this list is not meant to be a substitute for professional therapy services or appropriate mental health treatment and support.
This list is meant to be a starting point for readers and listeners, and I encourage you to do your own critical analysis and research, when reading or listening, to find what makes sense for you.
