In the face of an exhaustion epidemic, it’s time to rethink how we view high performance. Grit and hustle have their place short-term but over time are scientifically associated with burnout. As CEO of RISE, Suneel Gupta helped thousands of people overcome their challenges with physical and mental health. He now helps people build emotional runway to increase performance, innovation, and creativity. “The people who lose momentum very rarely run out of time or talent – they run out of energy,” says Suneel.
