Recognised by the World Health Organization, burnout is the health emergency of modern times. More and more people suffer from it, because the pace of life and work are often far too intense, and they leave no room for our physiological and mental need for rest. In The Burnout Fix, psychologist Jacinta Jiménez explains how we can take care of ourselves and find a balance that allows us to manage our professional and private lives without getting exhausted, simply by putting a few strategies in place that can help us achieve the results we desire, but without overdoing it.
