Powered by Me: From Burned Out to Fully Charged at Work and in Life Hardcover – September 7, 2023
Purchase options and add-ons
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.

Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
—Mark Hyman, MD, Senior Advisor at Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, Host of The Doctor’s Farmacy, and #1 New York Times bestselling author
“Neha not only knows the symptoms, she also has risen to the challenge of dealing with one of burnout’s most intimate causes: the inability of so many of us to recognize what is happening to us and to take charge of ourselves. Step by step, she helps us to become aware of the hallmarks of burnout—physical and emotional exhaustion, depression and anger, cynicism and indifference—and she shows us how to regard these challenges as opportunities to recognize, embrace, and grow through and beyond.”
—James S. Gordon, MD, founder and CEO of The Center for Mind-Body Medicine and author of Transforming Trauma: The Path to Hope and Healing
“Dr. Sangwan combines the science of medicine, the practicality of an engineer, and the heart of a healer to simplify the global epidemic of burnout. She provides a comprehensive tool kit to heal our mental health epidemic. That said, this book is way more than a tool kit. It is a way of being more alive. Powered by Me is a potent prescription for what ails us in our chaotic world of corporate burnout. It's a must-read for both leaders of today and tomorrow.”
