Bend, before you break – flexibility and high-performance with Prof Ross White

perfectionism and burnout

In this episode I’m joined by Ross White, fresh off the release of his fantastic new book, ‘The Tree That Bends: How a Flexible Mind Can Help You Thrive.’
 
We dive headfirst into the pool of psychological flexibility, discussing its unique edge over concepts like grit, toughness, and resilience. Ross unpacks the importance of balancing our ‘get,’ ‘threat,’ and ‘reset’ modes to keep burnout at bay.
 
With practical tips, playful metaphors, and Ross’s authentic vulnerability, this episode offers a refreshing approach to thriving in both work and life.
 
Grab your headphones and get ready to bend without breaking!
