Burnout isn’t a failure of resilience. It’s a failure of design.

Are you striving for high performance — but feeling like you’re barely holding it together?

You’re not alone. The drive that makes us succeed often becomes the very thing that wears us down.

I’m Dr. Dan Pelton — a clinical psychologist, former Army combat psychologist, and advisor to leaders navigating nonstop pressure. I’ve spent my career helping people stay sharp, grounded, and effective in the face of relentless demands.

But I’ve also been burned out myself. I know what it’s like to carry the weight too long — to feel your empathy fade under the strain of isolation, hyper-responsibility, and decision fatigue, and to wonder if the cost is worth it.

From combat zones to corporate C-suites, I’ve seen what helps people thrive — and what burns them out. And what I’ve learned is simple but disruptive: resilience isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about building smarter — systems, leadership, and mindsets that protect well-being without sacrificing performance.

In my new book, Rethinking Employee Resilience, I share what actually works.

Resilience isn’t born. It’s built.
