“This book is truly a gift! I’ve been applying the strategies shared here, and they’ve completely transformed my life.”—Brené Brown, PhD, bestselling author of Dare to Lead

Bustle calls Burnout essential reading, praising its thoughtful exploration of intersectionality and noting it serves as an empowering guide to stop letting external expectations control your self-worth and well-being.

This groundbreaking book uncovers why burnout uniquely affects women, revealing clear and practical ways to reduce stress, manage difficult emotions, and reclaim joy in daily life.

If you’re like most women in America today, you’ve likely struggled through burnout. There’s often a stark difference between society’s demands on women and the realities we encounter every day—leaving us exhausted and overwhelmed from constantly striving to bridge that gap.

Sisters and experts Emily Nagoski, PhD, and Amelia Nagoski, DMA, offer compassionate guidance to break the exhausting cycle. They clearly outline the societal challenges women face and equip you with essential knowledge and proven strategies to overcome them, including:

– How to effectively complete and release your body’s stress response cycle so stress doesn’t accumulate.
– Practical strategies for managing the internal mental “monitor” that heightens frustration.
– Insights into the influence of the Bikini Industrial Complex, which undermines body acceptance, and actionable advice to defend yourself against it.
– Why rest, authentic human connection, and cultivating compassion towards your inner critic are key elements in healing from and preventing burnout.

Grounded in insightful research, engaging science-based advice, and helpful exercises and worksheets, Burnout offers genuinely transformative tools and insights that empower women to create lasting and positive changes in their lives.
