What If Nothing Is Wrong With You?
Key Takeaways
- High achievers often mistakenly internalize systemic burnout as a personal failure or internal deficiency.
- When you feel exhausted, the solution isn't always a new morning routine or working harder; sometimes the entire system you are operating within needs to change.
