What Dr. Doll can say in an interview on
Burnout
:

    • There is a mismatch between work and life demand and our overall capacity to cope.
    • People are feeling inadequate because they think something is wrong with them since they are overwhelmed, exhausted, and feeling ineffective, or not able to meet the many competing demands.

4 Myths About People
Suffering From Burnout

    1. They are flawed: inefficient, not tough enough, poor planners, ineffective, weak
    2. They are lazy, not working hard enough
    3. They aren’t managing their time well enough
    4. They are distractible
  • The current uncertainty in the world exacerbates burnout.
  • Burnout is not an individual problem, it is an infrastructure problem—typically coming from unrealistic workloads, insufficient rewards, low levels of job control, low social support, absence of fairness, and/or a conflict in values (Christina Maslach research).
