The Burnout Epidemic
The Rise of Chronic Stress and How We Can Fix It
We tend to think of burnout as a problem that we can solve with self-care: more yoga, better breathing techniques, and more resilience. But evidence is mounting that applying band-aid solutions to an epic workplace phenomenon isn't enough. If we're going to solve this problem, organizations must take the lead, developing an anti-burnout strategy that moves beyond apps, wellness programs, and perks.
In this eye-opening, conversation-shifting, and practical guide, Jennifer Moss lays bare the real causes of burnout and how organizations can stop the chronic-stress cycle that an alarming number of workers suffer through. The Burnout Epidemic explains: how burnout happens—and what to do about it; how traditional wellness initiatives fall short; how to build a strategy based on prevention, not perks; how to measure burnout in your organization; and how to develop a happier culture that's high on resilience and curiosity.
As the pandemic has shown, self-care is not the cure for our problems. We need to do more. With the help of fascinating research, new findings from the pandemic, along with interviews with leaders around the globe, listeners will find insightful and actionable advice in this book—and will feel empowered to help themselves and their employees feel healthier and happier.

“We need to create the conditions in our workplaces that lead to a healthy, happy, and high-performing workforce,” writes journalist Moss (Unlocking Happiness at Work) in this fresh guide to identifying, preventing, and remedying burnout. Citing that stress causes a $1 trillion loss in annual global productivity, Moss urges managers to reconsider burnout as “an organizational problem that requires an organizational solution,” rather than an individual issue. Moss breaks her guidance into three sections: “Insights” identifies six causes of burnout (workload, perceived lack of control, lack of reward, poor relationships, lack of fairness, and values mismatch) and highlights at-risk personality types (such as neuroticism, introversion, and perfectionism); “Strategies” encourages leaders to offer a mandatory day off and consider pushing back deadlines; and “Leadership” presents a curiosity-first approach to work. Moss’s guidance is comprehensive, and refreshingly, she avoids a one-size-fits-all solution, opting for encouragement: “If we don’t help our employees to pursue their curiosity, we are essentially telling them to stop growing.... If we want the companies we lead to flourish, our employees much flourish first.” Business leaders owe it to themselves to check out this timely and practical plea for more balance.
