Are you keen to banish burnout for good?

Burnout-Free Working is written by Dr Richard Duggins – a leading expert and trainer on preventing burnout in high stress jobs, also known as ‘The Doctor’s Doctor’. In this book he reveals the secrets of his trade for the first time.

With a wealth of proven tools for burnout-free working, Dr Duggins covers all you need to know, including:

– Spotting early signs of burnout
– Steering clear of ‘the burnout cliff’
– Tackling ‘Keep calm and carry on’ culture
– Detoxifying workplace environments
– Dealing with trauma at work
– Moving from Stress to Decompress
– Strategies to support colleagues

Dr Duggins breaks down common burnout myths (it’s really not about building resilience!) and encourages us all to shift our thinking away from burnout recovery, to instead living and working in a way that avoids burnout before you even get close.

Reviews

Burnout is ubiquitous among health professionals, but it does not mean one has to suffer in silence. This excellent book explains what burnout is, but more importantly, how to deal with it.
Professor Dame Clare Gerada, PRCGP FRCPsych, Past President Royal College of General Practitioners
Dr Duggins has collected a lifetime's wisdom and guidance into this highly readable book. Real to life examples shed light on the phenomenon and will be easily recognisable. This is a hopeful book crammed with tips and techniques for us all.

Burnout-Free Working is a wonderfully accessible guide to how to survive and thrive in challenging work environments, including social work and care. It has a positive no-blame focus throughout and recognises the importance of addressing organisational cultures and practices that are inimical to wellbeing, as well as building interpersonal relationships that may prevent us from falling over the 'burnout cliff'.
