Finally, Something That Gets Me

I felt seen from the first chapter. This isn’t just another self-care lecture—it’s real, doable advice for people who are actually busy. The burnout types section blew my mind, and I’m already using the Boundary Code tips. If you’re exhausted and feel like you can’t stop, this audiobook is a must.

Clear-headed, validating, and helpful

This audiobook felt like someone actually gets what burnout really looks like—especially when you can’t just drop everything and escape. I liked how it breaks down burnout into types and gives small, realistic shifts that actually make a difference without asking you to overhaul your whole life. The sections on boundaries and emotional bandwidth hit home, and the tone made it easy to take in without feeling overwhelmed or shamed. It's one of the few resources that feels both insightful and truly usable when you're running low.

Held Together by Coffee and Stress

I was so used to the constant grind, I forgot what it felt like to breathe. This audiobook didn’t shame me—it understood me. It spoke gently but clearly, like a friend saying, “Hey, it’s okay to stop running.” The tips felt doable, even when I was running on empty. Slowly, I started reclaiming my time, my calm, and even my sleep. If burnout has become your baseline, this is the guide you didn’t know you needed.

Very relatable

the book is about tools you can actually use when you’re burnt out and tired of pretending you’re fine. It is relatable for everyday life for the average person.

quiet help on overloaded days

Lately, it feels like I’m running on fumes; balancing school, work, showing up for others, and trying to hold myself together in between. Even finding the focus to read has felt like too much, so I’ve been turning to audiobooks just to have something steady in the background. This one stood out because it didn’t push unrealistic advice or act like burnout can be solved with a weekend off. It helped me notice habits I’ve been stuck in without realizing, especially around guilt and never saying no. The tone was calm and honest, like someone who’s been there. I’m grateful this found its way to me when it did.

Good for work and home life

I started listening because I felt burned out from work. But a lot of what it said also helped me at home. I’ve been more patient with my kids and started doing things that help me rest. I still have long days, but I know how to get through them without feeling empty. I’ve always been the one who says yes to everything. It’s exhausting. Now I’m taking better care of myself and not trying to do it all.

Practical burnout fixes that are doable

I bought this after a string of late-night work sessions left me wiped and cranky most mornings. The advice felt doable, and the quick exercises forced me to notice how close to empty I’d been running. The boundary-setting scripts were helpful and simple. Two weeks in, I’m sleeping better, saying yes more intentionally, and my weekends finally feel like weekends again. If your battery light is always flashing red, this guide offers realistic ways to recharge and keep it that way.

a Guide for Winning at Burnout Jenga

My life felt like a game of Burnout Jenga, and I was one block away from a total collapse. Between a 4-year-old who runs on pure chaos, a demanding job, and trying for baby number two with my wife, my energy reserves were basically a rounding error. What I appreciated most about this book was that it didn't tell me to quit everything and find myself in Bali. The advice felt like it was written for someone with a mortgage and a kid who needs a snack right now. The idea of a "Boundary Code" wasn't just some abstract concept; it gave me an actual script for protecting my time without feeling like a jerk. Christian Neale's narration was perfect—he sounds less like a lecturer and more like a supportive friend who’s been there, which made listening a relief instead of another chore. I'd recommend this to any parent, professional, or person who's tired of self-help that feels completely disconnected from the messy reality of a full life.

Supportive and straight to the point

The audiobook really helped me reflect on how I’ve been handling stress and exhaustion. The advice felt honest and doable, especially around setting boundaries and making time for myself. I appreciated that it didn’t try to offer quick fixes but focused on simple steps that actually make a difference. It made me feel more in control and less alone

Finally Breathing Again

I couldn’t tell you the last time I didn’t feel tapped out, but this guide helped me reset in the best way. The tips on setting boundaries and choosing where to spend my energy feel simple yet powerful. I’ve started saying “no” without guilt and carving out time just for myself. It’s practical, compassionate, and somehow feels like permission to pause. I’m already feeling more resilient and less overwhelmed. If you’ve been running on empty, this book genuinely supports a real reset.
