8 Keys to Healing, Managing, and Preventing Burnout (8 Keys to Mental Health) Paperback – September 30, 2025

Recover from burnout by rediscovering your humanity.Everyone is vulnerable to burnout and anyone can succumb to its effects. Empty suggestions, like “just relax” or work sponsored resilience workshops often lead to feeling judged or wasting precious time. Through 8 key concepts, therapist Morgan Johnson offers readers a new way to combat burnout by feeling whole and reconnecting with the world and relationships around you.Each chapter focuses on a different concept and thoroughly explains the science behind it. Activities, therapy techniques, journaling prompts, and personal anecdotes are shared to help readers implement the concept in their recovery journey. Although much of the book expands on solutions that help readers work smarter not harder, Johnson acknowledges that many elements are out of our control―particularly societal, financial, and political systems that depend on exploitation to thrive. Toxic positivity, compassion fatigue, glimmers and triggers, and other key themes are also discussed. This book is designed to support anyone experiencing burnout, including the overworked employee, overloaded parents and caregivers, those suffering from chronic illnesses, and those just starting to feel the initial effects of burnout. Ultimately, the book empowers individuals to improve their mental wellness by leveraging their current situation while moving towards a society rid of burnout. 4 black-and-white figures Read more
