Burnout is defined as a complete loss of motivation; something that is close to a depression. As educators we all face it at some point of the year, it\u2019s inevitable. In this episode, our conversation is based on episode 350 of the Art of Manliness Podcast \u2013 artofmanliness.com.
On that episode host, Brett McKay speaks with Brad Stulberg and Steve Magness who co-authored the book Peak Performance: Elevate Your Game, Avoid Burnout, and Thrive With the New Science of Success. They shared how their respective backgrounds in elite running and business consulting taught them the importance of rest and recovery from brain work.
