When I burned out, what I wanted but could not find was a practical guide by someone who had experienced burnout themselves. None of the material I found spoke to what I was experiencing or to my sense that our economy is now optimized to burn people out.

I decided to write the guide I wanted but could not find. This is my experience of burnout, reckoning, and renewal.

This book is my account of what helped me. The intended audience is other burnouts and those who want to better understand the experience of burnout.

Burnout is a life-changing experience in a good way, as absurd as that may sound to those in the depths of burnout. To paraphrase Samuel Beckett: I can’t go on, but I must go on. There is a way forward.

Mr Smith has gone through much in his burnout recovery. This book tells his story and what helped him. It was helpful to me as I haven't learned the lessons that Charles learned. I am in my second burnout and needed help.
This book didn't fix all my problems, but it has given me a way forward.

My thanks to Mr Smith for the courage to share his failings.
