  Every weekend, we're taking you deeper into the best journalism on Apple News.

  It's a new year, a fresh slate, a chance to hit restart.

• 00:25

  So here's something to think about.

• 00:26

  Resetting.

• 00:27

  How is your relationship to your job?

• 00:30

  Does it feel healthy, sustainable?

• 00:34

  For a lot of people, it got worse during the pandemic.

• 00:37

  One survey in 2021 found more than a third of the men and nearly half of the women polled said they often felt burned out at work.

• 00:46

  Another poll found American workers are some of the most stressed in the world.

• 00:52

  So what is going wrong here?

• 00:54

  Burnout is a reaction to growth capitalism, right?

• 00:57

  It is a reaction to feeling like you are unstable and don't have a safety net.

• 01:05

  And the only way that you're going to find stability is by working all the time.

• 01:09

  That's the journalist Anne Helen Peterson.

• 01:12

  She thinks and writes a lot about work and our relationship to it, including why for so many people, your work has become your entire identity.

• 01:22

  And I think that a way to glamorize working all the time is to say, I'm doing what I love, right?

• 01:31

  To say, this is my identity and because I'm doing what I love, my life has purpose and that sort of thing, and it's worth any sort of exploitation, it's worth the exhaustion.

• 01:43

  It's all worth it because this is part of a larger purpose.
