Keep Yourself Alive: Stopping the Effects of Burnout
summary
Claims that chronic workplace stress depletes resources and can trigger real illness including heart issues and even cancer risk, backed by a career-spanning perspective (150+ travel days a year, 20+ years of burnout experience). Concrete tactics include creating a tethering person to notice you, using sleep ~14 hours while recovering, keeping one priority per day, and keeping a journaling/emotion log. Practical tools recommended are meditation apps and peer sites like Headspace and Seven Cups, plus blackout shades and honest job changes when fit is impossible.
