In 2016, Malesic decided to write a book about the cultural norms we’ve erected around work and how they’ve given rise to a nationwide epidemic of burnout. His forthcoming book, The End of Burnout: Why Work Drains Us and How to Build Better Lives, explores how work has become an all-encompassing exercise in achieving personal contentment in our day and age, and why that’s a noxious and unnecessary outlook that’s got to change. Read Malesic's insights to help deepen your own understanding of burnout in the workplace.
