- how to identify what's behind your anger and communicate it productively, without putting people on the defensive
- how to spot the warning signs for burnout and take the necessary steps to balance your life
- why you might be suffering from perfectionism even if we feel far from perfect, and how to detach yourself-worth from what you do
