About this listen

Running on empty—again? Caught in the endless game of Burnout Jenga, where one more task could make it all collapse? Banish Burnout is your go-to guide for restoring balance and energy—without quitting your job, abandoning your goals, or pretending you're fine.

This relatable, research-backed book delivers real tools and honest strategies to help you recover from burnout and build lasting strength. No fluff. No finger-pointing. Just practical solutions for real people with full plates.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

  • Use your Boundary Code to say no—without guilt or fallout.
  • Identify your burnout type and tailor your recovery plan.
  • Tap your Resilience Toolkit to protect emotional bandwidth.
  • Try Mindful Minutes and Digital Detoxes on the busiest days.
  • Break free from hustle culture with true Work-Life Integration.
  • Tap into real self-care (not just the odd bubble bath) that works when you're running on fumes.
  • Create habits that fuel your inner Wellness Warrior, not just your to-do list.

Written in a warm, witty tone with zero judgment and maximum empathy, Banish Burnout is the guide you’ll wish you had sooner. Packed with stories, reflection prompts, and powerful mindset tools, it helps you reconnect with yourself, one step at a time.

Whether you're a teacher on the brink, a leader deep in Zoom fatigue, or a parent quietly Googling “how to run away responsibly,” this book will help you unplug and recharge—without losing your edge.

Stop surviving. Start reclaiming your life. Burnout isn’t your fault—but recovery is your superpower.

Saying no used to make me feel guilty. I was always the one staying late or picking up extra stuff. I was tired and kind of burned out but didn’t know what to do. This book helped me to stop doing that. It helped me figure out what really makes me feel okay inside, even when things are hard. I learned how to say no in ways that felt kind, but clear. It’s made my days less stressful.

A good roadmap to cope with burnout
I felt totally tired and worn out for a long time. Many resources suggest self-care, but this was unique. It gave me a simple, useful plan to not just deal with being tired, but to fix the actual reasons for it. It was very helpful to focus on finding the exact things that stressed me and making solid limits. The suggestions seemed doable, not like just another task on my already huge list. Now I feel like I can get my energy back and have a better balance. This guide has been very helpful for anyone who feels stressed and exhausted.

Most days feel like I’m sprinting through wet cement. Between trying to show up for people, juggling work and school, overthinking everything, and sneaking in quiet moments with my family, there’s barely anything left in the tank. I don’t even have the energy to read lately, so audiobooks have become the one thing that keeps me company between all the noise. What I appreciated about this one is how it quietly pointed out patterns I didn’t know how to name. The parts on emotional boundaries and guilt landed harder than I expected. It never talked down to me or acted like I had the option to drop everything for a mental health break. It just met me where I was; exhausted, trying, and needing something steady. Really glad this one was gifted to me.

One part about prioritizing self-care really stood out. Just recently, I realized I was saying yes to too many things, and the book gave me the confidence to say no when I needed to.

I felt completely drained and stuck in survival mode until I listened to this audiobook. It’s like having a wise, supportive friend talk you through how to set boundaries, protect your energy, and finally breathe again—without guilt. The tone is warm and non-judgmental, and the tools are actually practical. I’ve already started using the Boundary Code and digital detox tips. This would make a thoughtful gift for any friend who’s exhausted or overwhelmed. Highly recommend!

Banish Burnout by Charlie Steele is a cracking listen for anyone who’s knackered and barely keeping it together. The tone is bang on—friendly, down-to-earth, and full of practical tips that don’t feel like a chore. I really got on with the bit about identifying your “burnout type”—helped me suss out what was actually draining me—and the whole “Boundary Code” idea gave me the nudge I needed to say no without feeling guilty.
What sets this audiobook apart is how it balances solid advice with a good dose of empathy and wit. Whether you’re flat-out at work or just overwhelmed by life in general, Steele’s suggestions—like mindful minutes and the odd digital detox—are actually doable and don’t require some magical overhaul. There’s no preachy nonsense here, just a sound, realistic approach to getting your spark back. If you’re burnt out, this’ll help you start feeling like yourself again.

Lately I’ve been juggling a lot at home between work, side projects, and caring for my family. I didn’t even realize I was burning out until I couldn’t focus or feel excited anymore. This audiobook reminded me of something I didn’t even know I needed. It tells you that rest is part of success too. While listening, it feels like you're also having a real conversation with yourself. If you’re tired of being tired, this one's worth a listen.

Sick of being tired.
