How to Stay Grounded When Your Company’s Reorgs and Layoffs Are a Hot Mess
Burnout isn’t just a buzzword. It’s the quiet crisis gnawing at the edges of our lives—eroding passion, fracturing relationships, and leaving even the most ambitious among us feeling hollow. After years of navigating toxic workplaces, financial scams, and the crushing weight of “hustle culture,” I wrote this book to answer a urgent question: Why does burnout keep winning?
Why I Wrote This Book
Burnout found me in the unlikeliest places—a call center in India , a chaotic startup , and even Amazon’s high-pressure halls . I’ve stared down bullhorn bosses, survived forced rankings, and rebuilt my life after losing savings to crypto scams. But here’s what I learned: Burnout isn’t your fault . It’s a systemic issue, woven from threads of workplace chaos, emotional neglect, and financial instability.
Yet most “solutions” treat burnout like a solo battle—just meditate more, set boundaries, or quit your job . But what if your entire ecosystem is broken? What if your team’s metrics are a treadmill, your company’s “family” culture is a Trojan Horse, and your emergency fund is one crisis away from collapse?
This book exists because I refused to accept half-truths . Burnout isn’t a personal failure—it’s a web of systemic failures, and it demands a holistic fix .

Why This Matters Now
The World Health Organization calls burnout an “occupational phenomenon,” but it’s worse in tech. We’re drowning in always-on Slack channels, arbitrary metrics, and the myth that “grinding = growth.” Leaders preach empathy but enforce RTO mandates. Employees fake smiles while their savings vanish to scams.
This book is a rebellion. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt:
Crushed by “fail fast” cultures that reward recklessness.
Guilty for prioritizing mental health over “hustle.”
Trapped in cycles of stress they can’t name.
