I've been there. The emotional exhaustion, physical depletion, and loss of creative juice that defines burnout is truly disheartening. You may think that you're depressed, but there's a good chance that you're burning out and need greater awareness of what's happening to you and what you can do to come back to life again. This is what my new book Fried: Why You Burn Out and How to Revive is all about.
One of my Facebook Friends called burnout "a necessary wintertime of the soul." When you get clear that your life isn't sustainable the way it is, then you're ready to create a more nourishing way to live. Drawing from my own personal experience, the stories of my Facebook friends (we had a very vibrant yearlong inquiry about burnout), and the research literature, I created the book that I wish I'd had years ago.
This is my 15th book, and perhaps it is the most important.
Fried may seem like an innocuous enough word since so many of us use it these days to describe our frenzied, speed-oriented, exhausted state of mind. But innocuous it is not. Feeling fried is an alarm that life has veered seriously off course. It's shorthand for losing our way individually and culturally in a world spinning so fast that it feels like we're about to be launched into outer space.
As a Harvard-trained biologist and psychologist, I've been described as a world expert on stress. However, that's not what this book is about. When you're stressed out, you keep chasing the same old carrot, whatever that may be for you. But when you're burned out, you eventually give up the chase. The hope that you can create a meaningful life fizzles out, and you find yourself sitting in the ashes of your dreams.
In a culture wedded to positive thinking, burnout and its first cousin, depression, are thought of as disorders to be fixed. But what if, borrowing a line from author and social commentator Judith Viorst, they are "necessary losses"? Perhaps they are losses of naïveté, false identities, and faulty assumptions that make way for a more authentic life.
Please take the journey from Fried to Revived with me. My hope is that you'll have a revelation of the aliveness and freedom of your authentic self. You'll learn that you CAN:
- Recover your vitality
- Reconnect with your creativity
- Honor your priorities
- Set better boundaries
- Take back the fun in life
- Wake up to your authentic self
- Live in the present moment
- Dream Heaven on Earth
