Evidence grades in the author’s approach: A — strong data; B — solid studies; C — limited data; D — observation.
Written from lived burnout, not cheerleading. Why rest fails, how allostatic load works, and where recovery actually starts. Adaptive capacity and getting cognitive control back.
Sample from the book. If the voice clicks — full text on LitRes / Amazon.
