If we accept that work-life balance is a necessity, then why are stress and burnout still increasing? Guy Winch is a psychologist and was the first guest ever on the How to Be a Better Human podcast. Guy returns to the show six years later to share strategies on how to stop indulging in unhealthy rumination, start identifying harmful triggers, and why it’s necessary to change your perspective and view problems as solvable. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
