THE BURNOUT SOLUTION 12 Weeks to a Calmer You

Australian actress Katherine Tonkin brings the right blend of maturity and warmth to her narration of this guide on recovering from burnout. Speaking with her Aussie accent, she sounds optimistic and assertive and, notably, avoids the pedantic tone that occasionally creeps into the author's writing. Tonkin's performance consistently softens the prescriptive nature of the detailed advice. The author offers a new topic to work on each week for 12 weeks; topics range from avoiding negative self-talk and implementing effective time management to overcoming perfectionism and resisting social pressure. Though Tonkin's tone is positive, this is less a feel-good listen than a well-crafted manual for understanding and adjusting the parts of your life that are overloading you with stress.
