Why do so many of us feel so exhausted these days? What can we do to avoid burning out, or to help us recover? Anna Schaffner is a scholar-turned-coach, whose new book is Exhausted: An A-Z for the Weary. It offers timeless inspiration, noting “we still have much to learn from the ancients, and from other cultures.” We talk about crossovers with yoga philosophy and Buddhist ideas, and in the process consider (among other topics):
* Why there’s so much social pressure to work too hard
* What drives perfectionism, and why it’s not always “bad”
* How keeping busy helps people to bury unwanted feelings
* Ways to focus on what we control and accept what we can’t
* The transformative power of enjoying a hobby, just for fun
