Burnout is a state of physical, mental and emotional exhaustion that can result from chronic stress, especially in the workplace. It can affect anyone, but it's particularly common among people who work in demanding, competitive or high-pressure environments. Burnout can have serious consequences for your health, happiness and productivity. But what causes burnout and how can we prevent it? In this episode, I will argue that burnout is not just a personal problem, but a social and economic one. I will explain how capitalism, the dominant system of production and consumption in our society, creates the conditions for burnout and makes it harder to cope with. But we're going to end on a pretty positive note because I will also suggest some ways to resist burnout and reclaim your well-being while living in a capitalist world.
