Working hard should not be confused with overworking at the expense of relationships and physical well-being.

Chronic stress often leads to burnout, and the two are mutually reinforcing. In this module, you will learn how to break the vicious cycle between work stress and burnout. You will also learn strategies to manage the effects of stress, pressure and burnout.
