What Denmark, Sweden & Japan Know About Work That You Don't | Burnout Explained

Burnout isn't just "being tired." It's a clinically recognized epidemic with three specific dimensions: exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced efficacy. But why is it hitting us so hard now? And what can we learn from cultures that approach work and life differently?

In this deep dive, we explore the global wisdom that could help us heal:
• 🇩🇰 Denmark's "Arbejdsglæde" - The untranslatable concept of "work joy"
• 🇸🇪 Sweden's "Fika" - Why mandatory breaks are actually productive
• 🇯🇵 Japan's dual lesson - The warning of "Karoshi" and the hope of "Ikigai"

We'll break down the 5 modern fuses fueling burnout and how these cultural frameworks offer not just coping mechanisms, but a completely different philosophy for sustainable work and meaningful living.
