52% of workers report burnout, yet Jonathan Fields—founder of Good Life Project and former securities lawyer—discovered the real problem isn't overwork: it's misalignment. After a near-fatal intestinal infection from 100-hour law weeks, he reveals why your body screams when your work doesn't match your core impulse, why existential crises are actually meaning crises, and how his Sparketype assessment helps you identify which of 10 work impulses actually make you come alive. Burnout persists across 10-15 years of rising surveys because most people do work misaligned with their fundamental impulse for effort, creating existential conflict they never address.
