This book helps you identify your unique personality type, so you can find the hacks and tweaks that will actually work as you strive to manage stress and reignite your passion for working with students. Many educators feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and on the verge of burnout, but it's never too late to turn things around. Best of all, psychologist Rebecca Branstetter gives you solutions that you can use while you work, so you don't have to sacrifice your already-scarce downtime. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge-scale approaches to preventing educator burnout often fail to consider an important fact—educators are individuals, and no one-size-fits-all solution will really fit everyone. People's innate strengths and weaknesses play a big part in determining whether the changes we make are likely to work for us. This unique book accounts for what makes you who you are, giving you options, ideas, and proven strategies that set you up for success. This way, you can manage stress, battle burnout, and get excited about your career once again. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIdentify your strengths and weaknesses using the exclusive Thrive-o-gram personality indicator\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn micro-habits that turn research about burnout prevention into transformation in your daily life\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstand how to tap into your core strengths and protect your positive energy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePersonalize your action steps with a Thriving Roadmap\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book isn't just about understanding who you are.
