"An uplifting ready for anyone with a hectic and stressful life, which is, let's face it, all of us." — Neil Bradford, Managing Director, Forrester North America
There has been a great deal of talk during the past two decades about the serious problem of stress and burnout. Most of the discussion focuses on the pessimistic side of the story. The underlying assumption is that we are in a fierce struggle, one that we frequently lose. Burnout is presented as almost inevitable, and solutions focusing on recovery are offered.
But there is another, more optimistic side to the story. What about the people who endure tough times with courage and grace, or bounce back from crises with renewed energy when logic tells you the situation should have left them depleted and discouraged? For all the talk about burnout, the fact is that the majority of people spend most of their lives coping amazingly well.
Being good at not burning out is a skill more than a genetic personality trait. Just like any skill, you have to work at it. You can learn to manage your behaviour and your thinking, but it takes discipline and practice to do it.
There are thousands of success stories every day about people who continue to survive and make the best of tough times. So how do they do it? What are the real stories of how individuals survive and thrive during uncertain and difficult times? And what is their advice on preventing burnout? This book answers these questions.

I Should Be Burnt Out By Now... So How Come I'm Not
Chapter One
Introduction
Remember the old Timex watch commercials on television? "Takes a licking and keeps on ticking" was the message. The watches were put through all kinds of dramatic punishments, but in the end those watches were still ticking. The people you will read about in this book are like those watches. Their histories are filled with the usual range of life's hard knocks, setbacks, and heartbreaks, but they found ways to survive and keep on ticking.
A few comments from the interviews:
During my nine-month job search, I didn't really have any choice about burning out. I'm a very literal person. Failure was not an option. Ina Lavin, human resources executive who was laid off
When I leave one job or task and go to another, I leave it and take on the other one. I don't allow any overlap. I work hard and do my darnedest, but once it's done, it's done. Chad Reese, full-time manager, part-time university teacher, and married father of three children under seven years old
I've always made an effort to have change in my life. Sometimes it was as small as changing the route I drove to work. I've changed jobs an average of once every four years. It helped me experience more, which has benefited my career. I guess that's why losing a job would not be the end of the world to me because I know there are other jobs out there. Vickie J. Jones, insurance accounting operations manager and single mother of two children with a mother who has Alzheimer's
