“Downtime in the human operating system is a feature, not a bug.” — Arianna Huffington

Burnout and stress have been hallmarks of the work experience tracing all the way back to the industrial revolution.

However, people are much more aware of it today, and as a society, we are taking concrete steps to confront the collective delusion that success comes at the expense of wellbeing.

The process starts with setting clear boundaries around work and technology.

Arianna Huffington, Founder & CEO at Thrive Global, joins the show to share her burnout story and offer advice on what companies and individuals can do to battle burnout.

Join us as we discuss:

  • The paradoxical symmetry between the rise of automation and stress
  • The importance of setting boundaries
  • How companies can address burnout in a hybrid world
  • Why IT needs to focus on people as much as the technology
