    Burnout isn't a personal failure. It's a wake-up call.This global epidemic is not merely a case of working too hard or feeling physically exhausted for an extended period of time. According to physician, executive coach, and speaker Neha Sangwan-an expert empowering corporate leaders and organizational teams to excel under pressure-burnout is due to prolonged stress and an ongoing net drain of energy on one or more of five levels: physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual. When we burn out, our productivity suffers, our health declines, and we're more reactive in our relationships. Not having the resources to handle challenging circumstances, address conflict, or maintain healthy boundaries worsens stress and dysfunction in our professional and personal lives.In this book, Dr. Sangwan explains in simple terms the overwhelming experience of burnout, and offers an awareness prescription that helps you determine on which of the five levels-physical, mental, emotional, social, or spiritual-burnout is occurring for you. Once you identify your biggest energy drains, she equips you with powerful tools that enable you to replenish your energy and take simple, practical steps toward healing. Along the way, you'll expand your awareness, elevate your mindset, communicate with clarity, and align your decision-making with what matters most. When you understand how to identify and heal burnout, you'll have the power to reconnect to yourself, your colleagues, your community, and the meaning of your work in a new and profound way.

    Harness the power of "zero transaction costs" to ensure long-term success in every new business propositionFor many business professionals, the daily "to-do" list is hard enough to stay on top of, let alone coming up with the "big ideas" necessary to take their company-or a whole economy-to the next level. But if coming up with those ideas-or finding start-ups that do-is your job, then The Zero Transaction Cost Entrepreneur is an absolute must-read for you.With more than 20 years of experience and an extraordinary record of success stories to his credit, venture capitalist Dermot Berkery has seen thousands of business plans, and in these pages he shares the key ingredient these successes stories have in common: Smart transaction cost economics. Simply put, these businesses lower or eliminate transaction costs for their customers. Here's just one of the real-world examples you'll find within: Blockbuster Video scored big by making movies easily available to rent; that's a reduction in a transactional cost. Netflix then removed another transaction cost-a trip to the store-sending DVDs through the mail. They tackled other transaction costs - limited choice and wasted time - by moving to streaming.Finding (and loosening) these transaction cost creates extraordinary opportunities in every field and industry, for entrepreneurs and venture capitalists to corporate strategists and R&D heads. In these pages, you'll discover how transaction cost economics can work for you, in chapters that include:Why Do Other People Come Up with All the Brilliant Ideas?The 8 Major Categories of Transaction CostsMakers of Products Need to Transform them into ServicesWhy Are Transaction Costs Falling Rapidly Right Now?The Trifecta of Accelerators: Idle Assets, the IoT, and Marginal Cost Pricing
