  It is the most fabled and storied journey in American history. From 1804-1806, the first expedition across the North American continent was commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson, who had recently bought a vast swath of territory from France. Though he knew he had bought a huge amount of land, Jefferson wasn’t entirely sure of what he had bought, so he asked a team led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to traverse the continent until they reached the Pacific, studying everything from the ecology to geography along the way to get an understanding of the country’s new region. 
  Lewis and Clark would find far more than they bargained for. The 33 members who made the trip came into contact with about two dozen Native American tribes, many of whom helped the men survive the journey. Though they suffered deaths on their way west, the group ultimately reached the Pacific coast and got back to St. Louis in 1806, having drawn up nearly 150 maps and giving America a good idea of much of what lay west. 
  As a young woman who was married to a French trapper from Quebec, Sacagawea happened to be in the right place at the right time for the legendary Lewis and Clark expedition, which set off for the Pacific coast after President Thomas Jefferson negotiated the Louisiana Purchase with France. The young Shoshone girl acted as a guide and interpreter for the expedition, helping it safely travel thousands of miles west from North Dakota to the Pacific over unfamiliar ground and amongst unfamiliar peoples. Put simply, the expedition could not have succeeded without her.

  8 Keys to Healing Managing and...

  Everyone is vulnerable to burnout and anyone can succumb to its effects. Empty suggestions, like "just relax" or work sponsored resilience workshops often lead to feeling judged or wasting precious time. Through eight key concepts, therapist Morgan Johnson offers a new way to combat burnout by feeling whole and reconnecting with the world and relationships around you. 
   
   
   
  Each chapter focuses on a different concept and explains the science behind it. Activities, therapy techniques, journaling prompts, and personal anecdotes are shared to help listeners implement the concept in their recovery journey. Although much of the book expands on solutions that help listeners work smarter not harder, Johnson acknowledges that many elements are out of our control—particularly societal, financial, and political systems that depend on exploitation to thrive. Toxic positivity, compassion fatigue, glimmers and triggers, and other key themes are also discussed. 
   
   
   
  This book is designed to support anyone experiencing burnout, including the overworked employee, overloaded parents and caregivers, those suffering from chronic illnesses, and those just starting to feel the initial effects of burnout. Ultimately, the book empowers individuals to improve their mental wellness by leveraging their current situation while moving towards a society rid of burnout.
