Struggling with burnout? Author Jonathan Malesic might be able to help

After getting his Ph.D., writer Jonathan Malesic struck out in this search for an academic job, so he took a position as a parking attendant across the street from his alma mater. He's had a myriad of jobs since then but Malesic told NPR's Michel Martin that he's never been happier because he was able to maintain such a stark work-life balance. Malesic's new book, The End of Burnout: Why Work Drains Us and How to Build Better Lives , is about how to maintain that balance in any job. And he reminds us that even your dream job is still just a job. Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoices NPR Privacy Policy
