Summary
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “This book is a gift! I’ve been practicing their strategies, and it’s a total game changer.”—Brené Brown, PhD, author of Dare to Lead

“A primer on how to stop letting the world dictate how you live and what we think of ourselves, Burnout is essential reading [and] . . . excels in its intersectionality.”—Bustle
 
This groundbreaking book explains why women experience burnout differently than men—and provides a roadmap to minimizing stress, managing emotions, and living more joyfully.
 
Burnout. You, like most American women, have probably experienced it. What’s expected of women and what it’s really like to exist as a woman in today’s world are two different things—and we exhaust ourselves trying to close the gap. Sisters Emily Nagoski, PhD, and Amelia Nagoski, DMA, are here to help end the all-too-familiar cycle of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. They compassionately explain the obstacles and societal pressures we face—and how we can fight back. 
 
You’ll learn
• what you can do to complete the biological stress cycle
• how to manage the “monitor” in your brain that regulates the emotion of frustration
• how the Bikini Industrial Complex makes it difficult for women to love their bodies—and how to defend yourself against it
• why rest, human connection, and befriending your inner critic are keys to recovering from and preventing burnout
 
With the help of eye-opening science, prescriptive advice, and helpful worksheets and exercises, all women will find something transformative in Burnout—and will be empowered to create positive change.

Stopped halfway through. Preachy and author “coins” own terms or diagnoses.

Disappointed because I purchased this book after listening to Brene brown’s podcast episode featuring the authors. The weirdest thing was that they instruct you to look at pictures of fat people on the internet until you don’t think negatively toward fat people. They talk about “skinny privilege”, give “data” to support the idea that being overweight is “good for you”. How does any of this actually help us with burn out? So what about those of us who understand how powerful exercise is for mental health and positive self image? Those who are “skinny” are supposed to assume they aren’t healthy or we they are doing something wrong because they aren’t just letting themselves go? Honestly, this book seemed to care more about liberal ideological/social issues than actual clinical burn out.
