How to Detach From Work Before It Destroys Your Life | Dr. Guy Winch

Guy Winch reveals that when you're stressed at work, your partner at home can actually start developing symptoms of burnout themselves, even if they don't work. The most surprising truth? Your workday doesn't end when you close your laptop. It ends when you stop thinking about work, and most people never truly clock out. He exposes why relaxation alone won't recharge you after mental exhaustion and shares the counterintuitive actions that actually restore your energy. This isn't just about surviving your job. It's about reclaiming the parts of yourself you've been amputating one by one while everyone around you suffers the spillover.
