Can't Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation by Anne Helen Petersen
4.0
A solid, infuriating book that reaffirmed a lot of existing knowledge and experiences. It was even more of a trip reading this in December 2020, listening to the Abigail Thorn's Philosophy Tube video on work and while stuck in an untenable job.
Petersen made a point of addressing race and class regularly, but disappoints with her overwhelmingly cishet focus. There were two mentions of bi women in f/m relationships, as part of a discussion of burnout and mixed-gender relationship dynamics. And nothing about same-sex relationships or trans people whatsoever.
