“Sanjeet has written an amazing book. Its a page turner. Super engaging.
I hired and mentored Sanjeet at AWS. It was evident that Sanjeet doesn’t see the world in a traditional way. When he decided to author this book, I was thrilled because he is a good story teller and is full of brilliant ideas. I am happy to write a foreword for him and while reviewing the book, I was absolutely amazed the way he fused facts and his personal stories.”
“I can’t overstate the effectiveness of the simple and easy to follow methods Sanjeet has recommended in this book.
The impact of Sanjeet’s book has been profound not only for me but also for people I know. It serves as an essential resource for both individual contributors and managers at various stages of their careers. The book addresses critical issues like burnout, a subject that resonates deeply with many in today’s high-stress work environments, particularly within the IT industry. ”
“I may have played a small part in urging Sanjeet to shift from a purely instructional style to sharing his personal stories—and I’m so glad he did. His honest narratives reveal how far he’s come from humble beginnings, and it’s both inspiring and relatable.
I’ve known Sanjeet for 15 years, and I was still surprised when he left Amazon to pursue entrepreneurship. One thing is certain: with his deep expertise and real-world experience, he’s the perfect person to guide others in overcoming burnout and building a thriving career.”
Sanjeet Sahay, the author of “The No-BS Guide to Beating Burnout“
Sanjeet spent nearly 20 years in the tech industry, navigating high-pressure environments, demanding deadlines, and the relentless push for performance. Over the years, he witnessed countless cases of burnout—from colleagues struggling in silence to his own personal battles with stress and exhaustion.
After spending a decade at Amazon, Sanjeet hit a turning point. His smartwatch started sending “increased heart rate” notifications multiple times a week, even when he was sitting still. That was the wake-up call. It was time to move on, reflect, and share his experiences with the world.
In The No-BS Guide to Beating Burnout., Sanjeet pulls back the curtain on the hidden stresses of high achievers—the ones that don’t always show up in performance reviews but slowly chip away at well-being. He shares personal struggles, hard-learned lessons, and the realities of burnout that many professionals face but rarely talk about.
