Summary

#10: Founder and CEO of Thrive Global Arianna Huffington thought she was doing everything right to reach success as the founder of HuffPost (formerly The Huffington Post). But after she collapsed from sleep deprivation and exhaustion, she came to a stark realization. Why does our society celebrate and glamorize sleep deprivation? Is it really “You snooze, you lose”? In today’s episode, we debunk why burnout is NOT the price you have to pay for success and show you better ways to boost your performance, productivity, and your career.

broke my cheekbone, and that was the beginning of my recognition that burnout was not just my

problem, but a global epidemic. I think people who are burned out are more likely to be depressed
