About the book
A holistic guide to healing the wildfires of burnout – identify your unique place in the burnout cycle, map your stressors, rekindle inspiration, and nurture new growth.
Burnout Recovery offers a revolutionary new metaphor for understanding and recovering from burnout. Fresh and timely, neurodivergent friendly, and inspired by an eco-psychological frame, this book argues that burnout isn’t just a symptom of a stressful workplace. The dip in motivation, chronic overwhelm, emotional fallout, and physical impacts are the result of a network of intersecting stressors: body-based, psychological, sensory, social, environmental, and political.
In this practical self-help guide, author Alicia K. Anderson skillfully maps the stages of wildfire burns to the whole-body experience of burnout. Drawing from her training in eco psychology and mythology, she relays profound lessons about the natural fire cycle and helps us explore our own potential for healing and renewal after a “burn.”
This book:
- Goes deeper than the catchall category of “workplace stress”: Anderson addresses all kinds of burnout, from autistic and ADHD burnout to creative and professional burnout
- Frames grief work as recovery and helps you let go of idealized or unsustainable versions of yourself
- Offers step-by-step guidance to identify where you are in the burnout cycle – and shares tools to plan for the stages to come
- Includes practical tools like self-discovery exercises, activities, rituals and journal prompts
If you’re tired of one-size-fits-all burnout advice, Anderson’s guidance will be a welcome balm – and a grounded, energizing invitation to embrace recovery beyond the short term toward a more sustainable, nourishing, and meaningful life.
“This book sparks breakthrough after breakthrough, for anyone who’s tried everything and still feels stuck. It’s a lifeline for sensitive, creative minds. The reset button your soul has been waiting for. One of those rare guides that shows you what’s really happening and how to break free. This book makes burnout recovery feel possible, even beautiful.”
