Excellent

I just finished the audio book and now am ready to dive into this so I can take notes and spend more time processing. I’m excited for this book and have a new favorite author to follow!

If you’re a leader… BUY THIS!

My job requires that I keep tabs on newer books. I also work with a fair number of leaders who are processing through burnout.

I bought on Audible… THEN purchased the hard copy so that I could process the content again on a deeper, more intentional level! The content is INCREDIBLE! Alan gives well thought out, insightful, inspiring and practical in a very compelling format!

If you work with leaders and want them to stay with you for the long haul… BUY THIS BOOK! You will not regret it!

Great resource for an important topic

In a world that prioritizes and praises business and “going all out”, AntiBurnout is a breath of fresh air. Alan Brigs brings an amazing perspective to rest in this book. “Work from rest, don’t rest from work”. Great chapter on the value of time and rest! Must read for us “busy” folks!

Great timing for me

I have been waiting for this book to come out for a while now. I am an Executive Director of a charity and burnout is real. I look forward to learning new routines for my life. I have had the privilege of going through a leadership cohort and a few events that Alan has hosted. I would highly recommend this book.

So profound & practical!

Such an incredible book that is both super challenging & encouraging. Challenging in regard to the burnout epidemic & how easily we can fall into that, but encouraging in that Alan gives so many tools & practical examples on how to avoid burnout.

So much richness & practicality!!! Incredible all the gold & coaching tools you get for just the price of the book!!!

Highly recommend!!!

Captivating read

Alan does a great job encapsulating so many profound truths! A great read for anyone who’s been through burnout or who’s struggling with it at the moment!

Fantastic

This book was amazing to read and to truly understand how many people are affected by being burnt out from work, friends, and life. Alan has a wonderful outlook on how to help and to stop burnout from happening.
