How Kandi’s Research Saved Her Life

After burnout caused a life-threatening health crisis in her own life, Dr. Kandi Wiens left a lucrative career in management consulting and enrolled in a doctoral program at the University of Pennsylvania to understand why burnout was leaving millions of us sick, exhausted, unmotivated, and feeling stuck and ineffective.

In her research, she discovered something remarkable: Despite dangerous levels of work-related stress, people who develop and use their emotional intelligence are less prone to burnout and have healthier, happier relationships with work.

Read the full story of Kandi’s path to achieving burnout immunity and learn from her bestselling book Burnout Immunity.
