The creative industry’s best-kept secret? Burnout is part of the 
business model. The media and creative industries thrive on passion, but 
that passion often comes at a cost. Behind the glamour of journalism, 
filmmaking, games, music, advertising, and online content creation lies 
a growing health crisis. Mark Deuze investigates the systemic issues 
that make creative work both exhilarating and unsustainable. This book 
is not just about what’s broken; it’s about what can be done – a 
practical resource for students and scholars and those navigating the 
highs and lows of a creative career. Part of the Global Health 
Humanities
