The Cure for Burnout: How To Find Balance and Reclaim Your Life

Burnout management coach Ballesteros’s book is a valuable resource from start to finish for those going through a stressful career season, whether actual burnout or something close. The author provides ample examples of people (herself included) who have navigated stressful and toxic situations and gives ideas for relieving that anxiety. She identifies the major types of career burnout that she sees in her professional capacity and lays out how they present. Ballesteros recognizes that commonly given advice is often unhelpful, so she digs deeper at the reasons behind burnout to offer better practical strategies, along with a little therapy. Her aim is for readers to achieve a better balance in life as priorities fluctuate; she guides them through assessments and shows how to use that data to overcome burnout, whether through correcting current work-life problems or moving on to a new career adventure.
