About this listen

Are you keen to banish burnout for good?

Burnout-Free Working is written by Dr Richard Duggins—a leading expert and trainer on preventing burnout in high stress jobs, also known as 'The Doctor's Doctor'. In this book he reveals the secrets of his trade for the first time.

With a wealth of proven tools for burnout-free working, Dr Duggins covers all you need to know, including:

- Spotting early signs of burnout
- Steering clear of 'the burnout cliff'
- Tackling 'Keep calm and carry on' culture
- Detoxifying workplace environments
- Dealing with trauma at work
- Moving from Stress to Decompress
- Strategies to support colleagues

Dr Duggins breaks down common burnout myths (it's really not about building resilience!) and encourages us all to shift our thinking away from burnout recovery, to instead living and working in a way that avoids burnout before you even get close.

Every professional should read this. Dr Duggins simplifies his years of experience in burnout into digestible chapters, giving memorable analogies to warning signs of burnout and useful logical solutions to stay well. The chapter on helping colleagues was empowering. Understanding the limitations and negative connotations of resilience was enlightening. I feel I have so many more tools in my bag now! Thank you for sharing this. Vicky Morrant (NHS GP)

This was so well written. I listened on Audible and it was broken down into well thought out chunks. Lots of brilliant suggestions and the overall theme was really positive. I finished the book feeling like I had options and things would be ok. Would highly recommend
