Summary of Jonathan Malesic's The End of Burnout

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The word burnout occurred to me as a possible explanation for my angry dread toward my career. I was a scholar at heart, and I spent my lame-duck semester researching burnout to understand my life.

#2 Burnout is when you are constantly drained of energy, see your clients or students as problems rather than people you’re meant to help, and feel that your work accomplishes nothing. I experienced all of these symptoms intensely.

#3 Burnout is a condition that is prevalent in many professions, but the figures that are used to demonstrate this are not compatible. It is not true that basically all millennials are burned out, while only a quarter of all workers are.

#4 The researchers who produced the studies are not measuring the same thing. The studies are not talking about the same thing, as there are many different definitions of burnout. And many studies rely on people’s subjective definitions of burnout.
