For anyone interested in the wider philosophical questions around stress and burnout, I recommend reading "The Burnout Society" by Byung-Chul Han [1], a contemporary Korean-born German philosopher. Very little of his work has been translated to English, but it's written really well. Makes a compelling case that the pressure for positivity and achievement lead to self- or auto-exploitation [2]. If anyone has additional reading recommendations around this, I'm interested!
