You are not broken.
You just need a little maintenance.
The Maintenance Guide For Humans
An innovative series to help humans help themselves. In a complex world, this series will offer pragmatic solutions.
You Are Not Broken
Finding it tough to cope with the pressures of modern working life is only natural.
Brain Fog
Most people have moments when their brains feel overloaded and are working below normal performance levels.
Brain Design
Our brains are systems that evolved to deal with a different world. Like all other systems, they need some maintenance from time to time.
Brain Maintenance
In our book, Maintenance Guide For Humans: Neural Burnout, we explain what is happening in the brain and how you can help it cope.
Burnout is not a character flaw.
It is not a lack of resilience. It is not simply stress.
It is what happens when a finite biological system is asked to carry more than it can recover from.
Drawing on neuroscience, psychology and systems thinking, Maintenance Guide for Humans: Neural Burnout explains what is happening inside your brain and body when the load becomes too great. Complex science is translated into clear language, practical examples and straightforward actions you can apply immediately.
Using the GUIDE framework, you will learn how to:
• recognise the warning signs before burnout takes hold
• understand why your brain behaves differently under sustained load
• reduce cognitive overload without relying on willpower alone
• rebuild energy, attention and emotional resilience
• create sustainable habits that support long-term recovery
Whether you are already experiencing burnout, supporting someone who is, or simply want to prevent it, this book provides a practical roadmap based on evidence rather than myths.
Because maintaining the most complex system you will ever own should not be left to guesswork.
