Ep.18 - "Boreout" & Lost Meaning: 5 Ways to Bring it Back.


Listen Later

Do you feel like your life or work lacks meaning?

In this episode, I explore a little-known type of burnout called 'boreout'. Boreout is a syndrome of experiences that can leave us feeling that the work we do has little meaning.  

What You'll Learn:

  • the difference between burnout and boreout
  • what boreout feels like
  • the two main types of boreout
  • 5 ways to bring meaning back into our life
  • why it is important to address boreout.

I talk about why continuing to develop is critical to our sense of meaning.

I wish you and your family all the best.

With love,

Melisa
