Running on Full: A Plan to Beat Burnout and Replenish Your Inner Tank

by Mitch Harrison

Overview

If your car runs out of gas, your day is ruined. If you run out of gas, months of your life are ruined.

In Running on Full, organizational leader and executive coach Mitch Harrison offers a step-by-step guide to preventing and beating burnout. It is a plan shared with over a thousand organizational leaders and business executives in settings nationwide. His blueprint centers on practicing five rhythms that replenish us all the time instead of just reacting when stresses start to wear us out:

• Rest—taking periods when we stop working
  
• Release—setting down the emotional weight we're carrying
  
• Receive—finding inspiration for our purpose
  
• Recreate—developing rhythms of life-giving times of enjoyment and fun
  
• Relate—connecting deeply with the people who fill our souls

Without any one of these, we are in danger of a crash. Keeping our tanks full requires intentional work, but it's worth it. It pays off in our ability to show up at our best in the most important places with the most important people in our lives.
