This is perhaps 4-5 pages of actually interesting connections between burnout and modern capitalist society, surrounded by a lot of ableist bullshit. There's a lot more page space dedicated to depression and ADHD than to burnout, but none of these terms actually defined, and I don't think you can assume we're all working from the same definition when you say things like "depression contains no negativity". There's also an out-of-the-blue claim that "autistic savants" are machine-like .
I'm trying to ignore how poorly the first chapter aged, since obviously the author could not predict a pandemic, but I still don't think you can say we don't live in an "immunological age" just because we're atagonistic to Self instead of Other. What a relief that autoimmunity doesn't exist, I guess! /s There are also some bizarrely basic factual errors - you can't say "running is not a different gait from walking" and "only human beings dance" just because it's convenient to your argument, come on.

No es una lectura fácil (aunque ninguna de filosofía a este nivel lo es) pero me ha calado bastante el que hable sobre cómo hemos acabado siendo nuestros propios carceleros motivacionales, cómo nos autoimponemos hacer cosas en nuestro tiempo libre y dedicarnos a la actividad en lugar de hacernos a un lado y contemplar, y sobre todo que esto ya es endémico y es hacia donde nos empuja el sistema capitalista.
