Podcasts that mention 📚 Burn-out by Herbert J. Freudenberger, Geraldine Richelson

The other thing that I thought of as you were talking about your book though and your work, there was this psychologist in New York in the early 1970s named Herbert Freudenberger, and he worked all of these shifts 10 hours a day at a private practice, then he would go down to a free clinic where he would work, and eventually broke down because he was working so much, and in the 1980s he wrote a book called Burnout: The High Cost of Achievement and had also written this paper titled Staff Burnout.

Angela Duckworth discusses the book 'Burnout: The High Cost of Achievement' by Herbert Freudenberger, a psychologist who explored the phenomenon of burnout after experiencing it himself due to excessive work. She references this book in relation to the broader conversation about the impacts of burnout.
