Discover what is holding you back from becoming your best self



• Are you a giver, an achiever, or a highly driven person?
• Are work and personal life causing you anxiety and stress everyday?
• Do you want to stop burnout and reclaim the spark you once had?


If you answered ‘Yes’, then this is the book for you



Burnout is a modern epidemic that has swept across the globe, sucking passion and energy out of professionals and students, old and young, men and women alike, whether they are successful, struggling, or somewhere in between. Perhaps you too are one of them.

Burned out? Tired? Depleted? Do you often have anxiety in relationships or anxiety over health? Are there days when you wake up feeling overwhelmed? Maybe you kick yourself for lacking motivation and energy, even label yourself as lazy, but deep down you know that that’s not true.

Our non-stop work culture comes at a cost. Do we have to kill our passion, health, and sense of self to achieve success?

And yet, burnout does exactly that.

But the good news is that burnout doesn’t have to be permanent.

Imagine waking up feeling excited about the day that lies ahead. Imagine wanting to jump into action and taking control of your life. What would it be like to not just survive, but thrive? Anything is possible once you ignite your inner fire. Successful people know how to keep that fire alive.

Stoking the inner fire is a science and an art—balancing giving, taking, and the pause in between. The road to achieving this balance may be difficult to navigate as you start your journey, but you can use this book as a roadmap. Powerful women and men use such maps all the time.



In IGNITE: Beat Burnout & Rekindle your Inner Fire you will discover:



• Is your personality causing your burnout?
• What is a Fire Triad? And how to use its elements to rekindle your inner fire.
• What led to burnout in Alexander’s army? What did Julius Caesar do to avoid Alexander’s mistakes—and how you can too.

Authors Swati Chavda and A. David Singh, both neurosurgeons, bring their personal experiences of climbing up the ladder in high profile careers. They suffered burnout and recovered from it. Now they approach the subject of burnout from a fresh angle, using the analogy of fire and examples from ancient history. In this book they share their tools, so that you may also reclaim your fire with confidence. 

IGNITE: Beat Burnout & Rekindle your Inner Fire is a self-help book for 21st century people suffering from burnout, whether in their professional or personal lives.

Read this book if you think that you are experiencing burnout, and want to reclaim the fire you once had.

Stop your burnout before your burnout stops you.

About the Author

Swati Chavda is an author, editor, map-artist, and a former neurosurgeon. After years of repairing people's brains, in 2010 she left her thriving neurosurgery career to follow her passion to become a full-time writer.

She writes both fiction and non-fiction. Her self-help books are based on the lessons she learned while balancing a hectic, high profile career with her creative passion.

She also writes speculative fiction, where her characters tend to seek answers to questions ranging from "Is there life after death?" to "Should there be life before breakfast?" She uses too many commas, too few coffee breaks -- and there's a constant battle waging in her head between British and American spelling.

    A neurosurgeon by profession, A. David Singh operated on brains invaded by tumors, aneurysms, and other vile maladies. Funnily, after turning a couple (or more) gray hair, a rather strange affliction invaded his own brain.

    Characters from a parallel universe besieged his brain cells and refused to leave, unless David transcribed their lives on paper. At first, he resisted the assault on his cerebral faculties, but these denizens of the Magical Rome Universe kept prodding his gray cells with their antics, forcing him to write their story.

    You can enter the Magical Rome Universe through the novel Dead Boy’s Game and The Broken Vow.

    Villius, Calpurnia, Julius, Aelius, Gellia, Julia, Fufius Cita, the Heretic Historian, and the Banished Druid welcome you into their magnificent and dangerous world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beating burnout with a new bent
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2016

I have to be an honest broker--I don't normally read self-help books. However, this had such a unique take on explaining the causes, effects and remedies for burnout that it was worth the gamble. The authors use examples of leaders from ancient history, which makes their subject matter fresher than comparable books. I particularly liked the exercises offered at the end of each section--they were both doable and useful. I recommend this book to any and all who need strategies to cope with the hectic modern world just as well as the ancients' navigated theirs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not your typical self-help book
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2016
Being an avid reader of self-help books, I picked up this ebook with a set of expectations – and those expectations were thrown out the window! IGNITE is a refreshingly concise work that can be read in 1-3 hours (depending on how much time you spend on the exercises), and is devoid of the unnecessary fluff that commonly afflict books of this genre. The parallels between the condition of burnout and fire are carefully drawn and makes it easy to understand and remember the key ingredients you need to get the most out of your life without sacrificing your body and mind. The historical anecdotes used to illustrate and exemplify burnout are a bit esoteric and will especially appeal to audiences with an interest in the historical conquests of Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar.

Read this book if you:
a) Aren’t sure what burnout is
b) To learn how and why burn out might be happening to you
c) To learn strategies to recover from burnout
d) As a launching point for reacquainting yourself with your purpose and passions in life

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it to believe in the power of healing
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2016
I chose plan B in my career when I experienced burn out at its best. Now, my transition from medical professional to Social work as a therapist has taught me new dimensions about life; dimensions I never knew existed. This book helped me achieve just that. I could relate to the science behind the burn out. Unless we truly understand the "roots" or the scientific explanations behind what causes burn out, we will be stuck where we are. And we will keep repeating the pattern. Be it the science behind mindfulness, or OCD or addiction or stress and anxiety, we truly heal when we are not afraid to explore the science behind it and responsible for it. The book describes the scientific reasons and explains them in a delightful manner. It does not feel like reading a book packed with advise or words that we could not relate it; instead it is a book that speaks to each and every one of us who has gone through the phase and has felt the darkness in its entire glory. It is not a pleasant place to be yet there is hope and there is healing. The exercises in the book are very encouraging and not overwhelming like some of the other self-help books explain. The authors encourage to dig deep and find our own answers; answers that speak to us and not based on an universal antidote.
I am going to use this book for my group sessions with teenagers suffering from Eating Disorders. This group consists of a group of insightful people who are trying to decipher what exactly is causing them distress and for the same reason they are looking for answers elsewhere. I will also use this for OCD and addiction.
The definitions and explanations made me feel confident that everybody experiences burn out but we can decide what we do with it if we are aware of its existence.

4.0 out of 5 stars A clever little book on how to understand and free yourself from burnout
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2016
Framing their work with history, myth, and science, the authors draw on personal and professional experience to explore the phenomenon of burnout.

Professionals in all industries are at risk of burnout in our brave new working environment that lauds the sixty (or more) hour work week and sacrificing family and personal time to the ravenous career beast.

Using the extended metaphor of--what else--fire to illustrate the risks of and means to overcome burnout, Chavda and Singh offer examples from Alexander the Great and Caesar to give readers access to understand their personal experiences. Practical, but clear and easy-to-implement, exercises follow each chapter.

My only complaint is that the book is a brief one, but that will probably be a selling point to most other, extraordinarily busy, professionals seeking help.
