My grandson went through a phase where he responded to myriad situations with the assessment: “I don’t think so.”

Meanwhile, while reading about burnout (with my grandson’s take on the universe in the back of my mind), I realised that, once again, he was a step ahead of me. Now, how does he do that?

Recently I stumbled upon references to a different way of looking at burnout among health workers.

What if it wasn’t a personal failing of resilience?
