In her book "Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle", Amelia Nagoski and Emily Nagoski discuss how to relieve stress by turning off and disconnecting from technology

What is burnout? It's a physiological response to chronic stress in which the body stops having the energy to regenerate itself and rebuild its defenses. Instead, it uses up all the fuel it has and then breaks down. The feeling of being "broken" from burnout can cause an individual to be more susceptible to illnesses like autoimmune diseases and heart disease.

Amelia and Emily Nagoski, co-authors of the book "Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle", are personal trainers who help individuals address the physical and mental aspects of burnout. They also share their personal experience with working long hours and dealing with stress. Although burnout is not caused by just one particular incident, it can often be brought on by a feeling or two that are similar such as a job loss, a divorce, or family issues.

The key to avoiding burnout is to understand that it can happen in any area of life, no matter how healthy you are. Life stressors have a way of piling up on top of each other and clumping into one giant stressor that eventually becomes too much for you to handle.

Burnout is a common experience that too many people have - and in this audiobook, you'll learn the steps to take to beat it. Emily Nagoski's book shows you how to approach your stress with an open mind, give yourself a break, and understand the power of your ability to choose.
