Best books to learn Stress & burnout, in order
Burnout gets treated as a personal failing fixed by a bubble bath, when it's a physiological and often structural problem. Read the science of the stress response first — what chronic stress does to body and mind — then real recovery and boundaries, then building resilience. Understanding the mechanism reframes everything. These books support, but don't replace, help for clinical anxiety or depression.
