The Memes Are Real.
So Is The Research.
The jokes are the hook. But there’s a real diagnosis underneath every one of them. In a national study, 73% of professionals showed clinically meaningful burnout risk — and the strongest predictor wasn’t hours. It was whether the system around them worked.
This book gives leaders one question to carry into every room and three practices to fix what’s broken before it becomes burnout.

I'VE SPENT 25 YEARS IN ROOMS
WHERE WORK WASN'T WORKING
Boardrooms, corner offices, conference rooms — I’ve watched brilliant people work incredibly hard while
nothing moved. The memes are what I see. The book is what it means.
The jokes are how I explain it to people who are too tired to read a white paper. Which, if you picked any of
those signals above, is probably you right now.
The memes are the hook. The book is the answer. All of it says the same thing: work should work.
