#137 Dr. Guy Winch: How to Break Free When Work Hijacks Your Life

Dr. Guy Winch is a psychologist, bestselling author, and one of the most trusted voices on emotional health in the world — his TED Talks have racked up over 35 million views, and his books have been translated into 30 languages. His latest, Mind Over Grind: How to Break Free When Work Hijacks Your Life, tackles burnout, rumination, and the invisible ways work bleeds into everything else — our relationships, our health, our sense of self. Guy also co-hosts the Ambie-nominated Dear Therapists podcast and has advised governments and companies like Unilever and Apellis on mental health. In this conversation, we get into what burnout actually feels like from the inside, why "finishing work" has nothing to do with closing your laptop, and the vacation science that changed how Guy himself takes time off, including: How to recognize it's time to quit your job The biggest mistake people make when decompressing after work The dangers of ruminating about work after work How to test for work culture during the interview process Why "who" you work for is the most important factor of your success and more Please consider leaving me a review!
