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

funny informative reflective fast-paced

5.0

I listened to the audiobook for this one and thoroughly enjoyed it. Emily and Amelia Nagoski are fantastic narrators. 

I cannot explain how much this book sort of changed me and my brain chemistry in the span of a few weeks. I learnt so much interesting tidbits and are practicing some of them still. Primarily completing my stress cycles and being able to identify when I'm stressed and know what to do with it is so important and insightful. Also "this is the new hotness" (if you read the book you would know), learned helplessness, human giver syndrome. I learnt so much from this book and especially how the patriarchy can make women feel less and how we're subtly being oppressed in ways that men will never see and it's really up to us to identify it and decide what we want to do. 

An extremely empowering and informative book.
