The Burnout Gene uncovers the hidden biology and cultural scripts that make exhaustion feel inevitable-and shows why it doesn't have to be. Blending genetics, neuroscience, sociology, and productivity science, this book reframes burnout not as a personal failure but as a solvable puzzle. It reveals how stress hormones, dopamine cycles, and inherited hustle culture wire us for overextension, while modern workplaces and technologies amplify the strain. Yet within this wiring lies the potential for change: through epigenetics, nervous system rewiring, and cultural shifts that honor rest, we can design lives and systems that make ease sustainable. With vivid storytelling and actionable insights, The Burnout Gene transforms burnout from a shameful secret into a blueprint for resilience, balance, and a future where thriving replaces surviving.
