This left a lot to be desired. I was experiencing burnout as I read this, and while I found Part 1 to be practical, they lost me in Part 2. No, the patriarchy and societal expectations of what my body should look like are not contributing to my burn out, thank you very much. More like I took on too many responsibilities, experienced the sudden death of a friend, and haven’t taken an legit PTO to recover. That may be the case for some women, but not me, so I couldn’t relate to this.

3.5 stars. I agree with a lot of the comments. This book was really well-intentioned and had a lot of great information to share, but the overly familiar, aimed for 2012 buzzfeed feminists style writing was just so jarring that it’s hard to take it seriously. I’m actually really bummed because I’ve heard such great things about this book, and I was so frustrated trying to get through the writing that I almost just said “fuck it, I’ll keep being exhausted.”

In a time where burnout has never been more prevalent, this is a MUST read. Geared towards women with a perspective on all the ways women specifically endure consistent burnout and stressors, this is a can't miss exploration of the science and circumstances of burnout with built-in tips on how to overcome it and change your mindset.
Authors are very mindful that BIPOC and other queer people experience even worse burnout and stressors, but be mindful that these two white women primarily cater towards a white woman's perspective in scenarios exploring burnout. However, the advice given is science-based and can apply to anyone regardless of gender identity.

The first part of this book, which focuses on the stress cycle, is life-changing. The rest of it was less revelatory to me, but I appreciated the approachable, feminist, and science-backed interpretations of the world around us.
