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

medium-paced

2.0

I didn't find this book particularly impactful. It felt quite basic, and I struggled to extract much value from it. The narrative jumped between various topics, which made it hard to see how they connected back to the central theme of burnout. I believe it would have been more effective to focus on a few key topics and explore them in greater depth, discussing different ways to reflect and improve in those areas. 

While there were many personal stories shared, I found that I couldn't relate to most of them, and they didn't resonate with me. The content might be useful for someone just beginning their self-care journey, but much of the information felt obvious or even a bit cringe-worthy. 

Additionally, I listened to the audio version, and I found the narration somewhat off-putting; it didn't quite sit right with me. Overall, this book wasn't for me.
