dinahsanders 's review for:

Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Amelia Nagoski, Emily Nagoski

4.0

---

Empowering message for women and scathing indictment of U.S. cultural norms—Human Giver Syndrome, the Bikini Industrial Complex, the (ugh) Patriarchy—for everyone. I wish it was a bit more inclusive of people who don't identify as women but are feminists/allies, as there's a ton of good stuff in there about taking care of yourself and escaping the toxic swamp of gender norms.

Great summaries at the end of each chapter. Very actionable!

The audiobook, read by the authors, is great.
