How to Fight Burnout (Especially for Lawyers.....And Pretty Much Everyone Else)

Is it just lawyers that need to de-stress? The answer is obviously NO, but Alex Montagu, a lawyer and meditation coach, discovered that he was at a breaking point and found the answer through meditation—the answer can be applied to those in high-stress professions or those who are in seemingly non-stressful ones. Why? Because the problem lies in our own minds, not our jobs or outside circumstances. He’s on a mission to help others incorporate the practice of meditation into their lives, as well as practice law. Listen in for his thoughts on the reasons we suffer from such anxiety as humans.
