What is burnout?

Modern life asks for constant output. Many high-achieving professionals find themselves depleted - physically, mentally, and emotionally. Success can be tiring; after all, the expression “climbing the ladder” has a reason. Burnout is more than fatigue; it’s a disconnection from self, meaning, and joy.

In fact, the WHO’s ICD‑11 defines burnout as a syndrome from chronic workplace stress not successfully managed, characterized by: 

• Exhaustion
• Mental distance/cynicism toward one’s job
• Reduced professional efficacy.
