For more than a decade Kelly Swingler has been on a mission to banish burnout after her first burnout made her seriously ill and her second almost killed her. In her last book Mind The Gap Kelly shared her story of burnout to breakthrough and beyond, and in this latest book she's focusing her attention on the workplace. "While workplace wellbeing typically promotes mindfulness apps, wellness perks, and stress management workshops, they frequently ignore the structural issues - like excessive workloads, unrealistic expectations and toxic cultures - that contribute to burnout in the first place. By focusing on these surface-level fixes, organisations can deflect attention from the more challenging, but necessary, task of changing workplace conditions." F*ck Burnout: Why We Need to Call BS on Workplace Wellbeing to Finally Banish Burnout shines the light on what we typically see as wellbeing in the workplace, and what needs to change to create truly healthy workplaces where we can be well-beings. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kelly Swingler is a renowned burnout expert, international speaker and global burnout educator who lives in Cambridgeshire with her partner, twin sons, two bonus sons and her rescue dog. Kelly began her leadership career in 1998 and went on to have a successful career in HR, where she believed in a 'people first' approach. She created the world's first mental wellbeing for HR programme, banned annual performance reviews in 2008 and her talk on 'Burning the Handbook' has been called "the best thing to come out of HR since the Netflix Culture Deck". In 2014, Kelly founded the award-winning consultancy The Chrysalis Crew and in 2021 she founded Kelly Swingler Ltd, where she focuses on banishing burnout globally through her talks, Burnout Academy and Burnout Club. What People Say About F*ck Burnout "I started reading this book in 'reviewer mode', as I do for many books. And then something in the book made me stop. And think. And reflect on my own experiences. And the same thing happened again and again and again. This was like having Kelly on my Kindle; thought-provoking and impactful." Ian Pettigrew, Kingfisher Coaching "Another piece of literary genius from the brilliant Kelly Swingler. F*ck Burnout is crammed with so much practical guidance and delivers the hard-hitting wake-up call that many leaders need right now." Jo Wright, Co-founder, Coaching Culture "From the outset, the book pulls you in with insights that truly 'stop you in your tracks', making it clear that burnout isn't just about working too hard but about losing connection with one's values, boundaries, and inner needs. She discusses the deeper psychological, societal and workplace pressures that lead so many to burnout, and each chapter serves as both a mirror and a roadmap. F*ck Burnout is more than a book - it's a guide, a mentor, and a source of inspiration. Kelly's blend of empathy, expertise and actionable advice makes this a must-read for anyone who feels trapped in the burnout cycle or wants to live more intentionally." Lisa Haggar "This is the next best thing to having Kelly work with you in person. I guarantee every reader, if they follow the direction and actions within the book, will go away with a deeper understanding of burnout and its causes. They will also leave with a full appreciation of what they can do to prevent and redress the impact on themselves and others, banishing this modern-day workplace scourge forever." Emma Bennett, Director of People and Culture
