A serious burnout is serious as well.
Two issues: 1. it seems lots people mix up burnout with exhaustion or lack of motivation. It is not the same.
2. I'm afraid, and I am not alone to think that people feel like burnout == bragging rights.
It is not. It is just painful and unproductive. I now say (tongue-in-cheek, admittedly) that it is far better to keep going at 95-120% for year after year than going all the way to 160 for weeks, meet the wall and needing months to fully recover. Often families and other relationships suffer as well.
