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

emotional hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted reflective slow-paced

4.0

This book took me a long time to read because I was actively going through burnout. The section on sleep really impacted me though, I appreciated the blunt nature. I found out that not sugar coating self help really does have a profound impact on me. Who knew writing “sleep a full night or else you’ll literally die” is actually exactly what I needed to hear in order to start caring about it. Loved the examples given and the validation on how elementary school educators are on top of nurses for experiencing the highest levels of burnout. Somehow hearing that made me both want to cry and hug myself.
