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

hopeful informative inspiring slow-paced

5.0

This is a book everyone should read, to be honest. It's geared toward women and (sometimes) hetero couples, because that's where most of the research is right now, but the authors acknowledge that and move forward smoothly and inclusively as best they can.

In some ways, I feel like I understand myself a little better now. And I feel inspired to be kinder to myself as well. I'll make friends with my crazy woman in the attic. Or at least try.

The audio quality was very good. I'm glad the authors were the readers, as I felt it added to the experience.

My one complaint was almost every time the word "patriarchy" was said, the authors would also add an "ugh" before continuing. It was funny the first few times--and I totally agree: patriarchy = ugh--but it got old pretty fast and would break my concentration.

I'll still be getting a physical copy of this for myself so I can take notes, highlight, and input my own comments.
