There's a palpable energy to storytelling, and it's an energy we harness to bring you a special series like this one.

With that in mind, it's worth remembering the little things we do in community to energize ourselves, like sharing a cool, brightly flavored drink over conversation under the afternoon sun.

It's a refreshing ritual that can be perfectly captured by the Starbucks new energy refresher.

It comes in great flavors.

Mango dragon fruit, strawberry acai, mango strawberry, plus a handful of tasty variations with lemonade or coconut milk, like the pink energy drink.

The point is, nobody is immune to a little slump in energy, especially in the afternoon.

The science is clear on that.

The key is remembering there's always a path forward to feeling renewed and re-energized.

Jonathan Malesic left academia, but he wasn't done with burnout.

He says the idea of burnout as we know it first showed up in 1974.

Picture it.

Flower powers out, disc goes in, Nixon resigns.

And Bob Dylan records a song about searching for salvation.

It's called Shelter from the Storm.

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail.

Was there ever a crossover between these artists and these scientists, or they just happened to sort of be catching the same vibe that is going down in the country?
