Today's episode of The Daily Leader unpacks the problem of positivity—how saying yes to the wrong things and leaning too heavily into "can" without enough "no" fuels burnout, depression, and boredom. Hosts Brad McDonald and Taylor Jessup explore insights from Byung-Chul Han's book The Burnout Society, examining why creating boundaries more frequently is essential for sustainable leadership.
