I'm a mental strength coach who works with founders. AI is causing a burnout surge — here's my advice for combatting it.

Courtesy of Amy Morin Amy Morin is a psychotherapist, podcast host, and author who coaches people on mental strength. AI is leading to more burnout and exhaustion among startup founders she coaches. The solution, she writes, is to accept they can't optimize everything all the time — even with the help of AI. "I've never felt more burned out than since I started using AI." As a psychotherapist and the author of "The Mental Strength Playbook," I've been hearing some version of this from the startup founders who reach out to me for mental strength coaching , to help them stay strong during the age of AI.
