En savoir plus sur le livre

Drawing on cutting-edge science and personal stories, this essential book addresses fatigue, burnout, stress, and trauma, resonating with anyone feeling pushed to their limits. The author, a health psychologist and practitioner at a fatigue clinic, delves into the nature of suffering and what occurs when we reach our breaking point. While major traumas are rare, he emphasizes that frequent challenges, such as multiple setbacks or prolonged difficulties, can lead to unhappiness, worry, and exhaustion. This state of "breaking" is not just psychological; it manifests physically, as our mental and physical well-being are interconnected. When the systems that help us navigate life become dysregulated, we struggle to cope. However, by understanding how life's turbulence affects us, we can better tackle our challenges. The book incorporates clinical case studies, groundbreaking research, and references from philosophy, literature, and film, presenting a compassionate perspective on human struggle. It advocates for the importance of rest and recuperation, offering a hopeful vision for those navigating the complexities of everyday life.
