Why Burnout is a Serious Problem for Modern Professionals

Indeed, excessive work –– or stress related to work –– can cause professionals to suffer from the debilitating phenomenon known as burnout. Though this issue might have once been dismissed as temporary or trivial, the reality is that burnout can affect people in serious ways. And this is a problem facing individuals as well as corporations.
