Can't Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation by Anne Helen Petersen
informative
medium-paced
2.5
I've really enjoyed reading Anne Helen Peterson newsletters and she's a great follow on Twitter for all things culture and work - so <i>Can't Even</i> felt like a must read for me and it didn't quite meet the expectations I had.
<i>Can't Even</i> is incredibly US focused, like, all of the examples in this book are based on research, studies and interviews with people who are American. This was a bit of a shame as whilst a lot of the US's approaches to work and life have been exported globally it felt like this was a missed opportunity to share how other cultures experience burnout and the changing demands on the different types of workforce.
