Summary: “Don’t buy society’s definition of success because it’s not working for anyone.” ~Arianna Huffington, founder of The Huffington Post Burnout is killing us. Literally. On today’s podcast episode, I discuss some long-term studies done by researchers at Tel Aviv University and another study conducted by researchers at the University of Gothenburg. Both studies followed large groups of people for extended periods of time. And both studies concluded that work burnout can literally kill you, so it’s worth paying attention to the signs and discovering what would be more fulfilling instead. In this episode, we’ll talk about the signs and 3 steps to get off the burnout track. Also, coming up in the next 3 episodes, I’ll be talking about the Opportunity Factor and how you can create the work you love to get off that burnout track for good.
