Extinguish Burnout Launch!

Terri and I are excited to announce the launch of our brand new website, https://ExtinguishBurnout.com to support our forthcoming book, Extinguish Burnout: A Practical Guide to Prevention and Recovery. While the book doesn’t publish until June 21st, the site and online course are available today.

Burnout is pervasive. As we speak about this topic and ask who has experienced it, nearly every hand goes up. When we ask how many people feel as if they’re actively in burnout during our talk, a sheepish 20% or more of the hands are raised. Burnout isn’t new, but its prevalence is increasing. An estimated 50% of physicians and 30% of nurses are currently experiencing burnout. I first wrote about burnout in 2003, and it’s been a recurring theme over the years as I worked with clients and led teams.

There’s some literature on burnout, but the problem was that it either blamed the individual – that they’re not strong enough – or the organization – that they’re not taking care of their employees. The problem is that neither view resolves the burnout, it just assigns blame.

We set out to identify the key causes for burnout and find strategies for preventing burnout or recovering from it if you’re already stuck in it. We found the answers were hidden in the research. All the clues necessary to find the answers were already available – they were just hard to find through all the misdirection.

The book is roughly 200 pages, with chapters that can be read in 5-10 minutes. The online course has an average module length of 13 minutes. The point was to keep them short and easy to consume if you are already in – or near – burnout.

We’re honored to have already received a substantial amount of positive feedback about the book and the materials. Some of those comments are available on the home page of the website. If you’re struggling with burnout – or you know someone who is – we’d like to invite you join us at https://ExtinguishBurnout.com, where you can preorder the book for shipment on June 21st (when it publishes) or order the course and start today. If you’re just interested, you can sign up for our newsletter, and we’ll keep you up to date.
