Fried

This is an invitation to take your power back!

What happened to the spark you had as a child that powered curiosity, engagement with life, and creativity? Has it burned out? Are you feeling emotionally and physically exhausted and cynical, wondering if you've got what it takes to make it in this rapidly changing world?

Burnout resembles depression, but it's not a biological bogeyman that medication or simple stress management can cure. It's a disorder of hope and will that drains the life from competent, idealistic, hardworking people like you. It presents an ongoing challenge for you to take your power back!

In this timely and groundbreaking work, Joan Borysenko—a Harvard-trained medical scientist, psychologist, and renowned pioneer in stress and health—straddles psychology, biology, and soul in a completely fresh approach to burnout.

Her deeply human (and often amusing) personal accounts of burnout and recovery help convey a clear understanding of the science behind helplessness, hopelessness, and empowerment. Additionally, the rich wisdom of those who have transitioned from being fried to revived—including many of Joan's vibrant community of nearly 5,000 Facebook friends—makes this powerful and practical book a must-read for our times.

Fried is not just a book; it's a lifeline for anyone feeling the weight of burnout and seeking a path to renewal.
