From Burnout to Belonging by Kimberly Carrozi is an educational book that describes the concept of burnout. The author defines burnout as a byproduct of stress in the workplace. The book contains 15 chapters. In each chapter, she explains what burnout is, the signs of burnout, and her previous experiences, including as an operational manager in a Fortune 100 company. She describes the common myths in the workplace by giving examples. The author mentions how the traditional model career is linked to burnout, and microculture differs from the traditional model method. In addition, she explains the types of microcultures, including classroom, island, kingdom, Swiss watch, and tribe, and how they differ from each. Furthermore, she educates people on identifying the best micro-culture they can fit in, the best time to leave a workplace, and helpful tips to manage stress.

The positive aspect of this book is how fascinating it is. The book is short and exciting. It is informative with a valuable life lesson. I have learned a lot from this book, including how to recognize and deal with burnout, achieve a healthy working environment, and the signs that it is time to leave a workplace. I love how she used Nina's scenario to explain in detail the different types of microcultures. Also, the author insisted that anyone should not just take any available job but rather research it to identify the microculture that best suits them. The language used is simple, straightforward, and easy to understand. Her writing skills are impressive; the book was well written. The author explained each chapter in detail. She also used examples and scenarios which seemed realistic to explain a point. The flow of the book was terrific and easy to follow. I did not find any instances of profanity.

I disliked nothing about the book; it was informative and educational, and I enjoyed it. I found a minor grammatical error, but I believe the book was well-edited. As a result, the book is straightforward and can be comprehended by anyone.

I am glad to rate this book 4 out of 4 stars, as it is educational, informative, and inspiring. The book gives guidelines on preventing and managing burnout, tips on identifying microculture that suits you, and the best time to leave and workplace.

I recommend this book to anyone experiencing burnout in their workplace; this book will help them overcome burnout. It is also an excellent read for employers, employees, and those starting careers.
