Self-care is a coping mechanism we are frequently advised to use to deal with burnout at work. But in many cases, it is the type of environment we are in that prevents (or enables) burnout in the first place. In this episode, we discuss some of the actual data behind why people feel burnt out at work, how it's impacting them at a structural level, and what institutions and companies can do to make a change. We break down the 2020 research paper "Rethinking burnout: When self-care is not the cure" by J. Moss, published in the American Journal of Health Promotion 34.
