The author defines and discusses positive and negative toxicity, establishing boundaries, traits that contribute to workplace weariness, mental and physical relaxation techniques, and outlines the many benefits of laughter. McKinley provides ways to target the reasons for burnout and the ways of recognizing them, then making decisions that will improve the balance between work and lifestyle.
