Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Burnout by Amelia Nagoski and Emily Nagoski, read by Emily Nagoski.
This groundbreaking book explains why women experience burnout differently than men - and provides a simple, science-based plan to help women minimize stress, manage emotions and live a more joyful life.
The gap between what it's really like to be a woman and what people expect women to be is a primary cause of burnout, because we exhaust ourselves trying to close the space between the two. How can you 'love your body' when everything around you tells you you're inadequate? How do you 'lean in' at work when you're already giving 110% and aren't recognized for it? How can you live happily and healthily in a world that is constantly telling you you're too fat, too needy, too noisy and too selfish? Sisters Emily Nagoski, Ph.D., the bestselling author of Come as You Are, and Amelia Nagoski, DMA, are here to help end the cycle of overwhelm and exhaustion, and confront the obstacles that stand between women and well-being. With insights from the latest science, prescriptive advice, and helpful worksheets and exercises, Burnout reveals:
* what you can do to complete the biological stress cycle - and return your body to a state of relaxation.
* how to manage the 'monitor' in your brain that regulates the emotion of frustration.
* how the Bikini Industrial Complex makes it difficult for women to love their bodies - and how to fight back.
* why rest, human connection, and befriending your inner critic are key to recovering from and preventing burnout.
Eye-opening, compassionate and optimistic, Burnout will completely transform the way we think about and manage stress, empowering women to thrive under pressure and enjoy meaningful yet balanced lives. All women will find something transformative in these pages - and be empowered to create positive and lasting change.

One of the best books I've read in 2019
It's not just for women. It's the book I wish I'd had years ago. Each chapter is so relevant and accessible I feel that this could so easily be adapted to be a course that I'd happily spend the rest of my life teaching/showing people. Congratulations to Emily and Amelia for writing one of the most sensible and inspiring 'self-help' books I've ever read and I've read so many! I've recommended it to my friends and two more copies are arriving today for me to give as gifts this Christmas to my favourite people.

I was given this by a friend and it really hit the nail on the head for me. I will listen to this again so that it really sinks in. I liked the way it was read.

Realistic laying down of idea to challenge conditioned female based behaviour patterns
I found the music unhelpful to the narrative. Not all of the ideas sit well with me although I can understand the rationale behind them.

Warm, practical and inspiring
A few months ago, a friend sent me a link to Brené Brown’s “Unlocking Us” podcast, on which these sisters featured, talking about the concept of Burnout. She sent it, knowing how burnt out I was. I identified with what they were discussing, hard, and subsequently bought this audiobook. I listened to it over a course of several weeks, generally as I was cleaning the kitchen or cooking. I am in the process of recommending it to pretty much every woman I know, and several men too.
This audiobook talks about the simply exhausting nature of being a woman existing at this point in history. From families to careers to relationships, they help put our circumstances into perspective and offer practical advice, backed up with science, on how to deal with things. Their tone of voice is kind without being too soft, matter-of-fact without being cold. They provide examples of scenarios that feel familiar and relatable, then talk through the process in resolving some of the tensions in these scenarios.
This book has given me a greater understanding on how I sometimes think, feel, and act the way I do - and I have already started to reap the benefits of the practical advice they offer. The broader political and societal context they provide throughout was something I found particularly rich and helpful, too (and is also what inspired me to share with the men in my life, who I think would benefit from this perspective).
Could not recommend this highly enough to any woman out there who spends her time wondering “when do I get to take a break?”. Thank you so much, Emily and Amelia 💕

Perfect in every way
This book is amazing. Perfect. Wonderful. Emily reads it so so well, but beyond that, the content is incredibly powerful, beautifully weaving together the reality of being a woman with the academic research into wellness, rest, connection and more. It’s incredibly validating and also very useful. Listening to this book has been life changing for me. Now I’m waiting for the workbook to be delivered!
