What We Are Getting Wrong About Burnout with Guy Winch

How can we reclaim control when it feels like work has hijacked our lives?

Why is managing stress becoming more important than reducing it?

My guest on this episode is Guy Winch, psychologist, TED speaker, and author of the new book “Mind Over Grind: How to Break Free When Work Hijacks Your Life”

During our conversation Guy and I discuss the following:  

  • Why burnout continues to rise despite increased investment in wellbeing programs.
  • How work is increasingly “hijacking” people’s time, attention, and relationships.
  • Why high performers are often the most vulnerable to burnout.
  • How a simple end-of-day ritual can train your brain to shift from work mode to personal life.
  • How more open conversations about stress can prevent burnout before it becomes a crisis.
