Stop Working Yourself to Death: A New Path Beyond Burnout with Scott Anderson

Send us a text

Burnout recovery expert Scott Anderson shares counterintuitive approaches to overcome physician burnout and find a sustainable path to high achievement without sacrificing wellbeing.

• Burnout involves oscillating between hypervigilance and avoidance, similar to patterns seen in PTSD
• Traditional approaches like vacations and sabbaticals often worsen burnout rather than resolving it
• The R&R technique offers a simple 5-second practice to interrupt stress cycles by noticing physical sensations
• Most burned-out professionals spend 80% of their time on activities that generate only 20% of their value
• Complete disengagement—even for just minutes at a time—is essential for burnout recovery
• Community support helps combat the isolation that often accompanies burnout
• Life beyond burnout can lead to greater achievement with less strain and more fulfillment
• Recovery doesn't require abandoning medicine but rather recalibrating one's relationship to work
