I was very happy to receive this ARC. I read a lot of books on this and similar topics but I like how inclusive this one is. Also it had lots of useful reflective exercises and prompts to help recalibrate. Instead of telling you what to do it helps you cultivate what is right for you.

Found it a useful read that I could jump into. Not put any practices to use yet however the authors sympathetic tone was appreciated.

Didn’t get on with this book at all. Very strange writing style and not what I was hoping for when I chose it.

I think the idea of healing from burnout is becoming increasingly important, and I see it come up often in my work as a therapist. Many people recognize when they hit their limit, try to push through, and then end up completely exhausted. This book does a good job of breaking down the science behind burnout and offers practical tools, activities, and real-life examples to help readers recover. I especially appreciated that neurodivergent experiences were thoughtfully included, rather than just being grouped in with neurotypical perspectives.

I’m giving it 4 stars for the content, but I might raise it to 5 once the final version is out, since the unedited proof sometimes had formatting issues that made it harder to read.

Thank you to the publisher for the ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts.
