Description
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We’re back again this week with journalist Celeste Headlee, whose conversation with Dr. Jack Muskat, Medcan’s clinical director of mental health, was so captivating we had to dedicate two episodes to it. In her book,</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Do Nothing: How to Break Away from Overworking, Overdoing, and Underliving</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Headlee argues that our obsession with productivity is enabling burnout culture and harming our health. When we last left Headlee and Dr. Muskat, the duo explored the surprising historical evolution of work and how one restorative train trip forced Headlee to unplug and rethink her own relationship to her job. This week, they dive into the lifestyle changes we should all be making in order to break out of this vicious work cycle we’re trapped in and embrace leisure.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>LINKS</strong><strong><br /> <br /></strong></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Celeste is quite active on</span> <a href= "https://twitter.com/CelesteHeadlee?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor%5C"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Twitter</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">and</span> <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/celesteheadlee/?hl=en"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Instagram</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Read more on Headlee and her work at</span> <a href= "https://celesteheadlee.com/about-celeste-headlee/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">her website</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, and check out her book</span> <a href= "https://celesteheadlee.com/do-nothing-book/"><em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Do Nothing</span></em></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.</span></li> <li><a href= "https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/03/12/813737687/too-busy-make-time-to-do-nothing"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">An interview</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Headlee did with NPR l
