In Burnout, Emily and Amelia Nagoski explore why so many people, especially women, feel chronically exhausted and overwhelmed, and what to do about it.
They explain the difference between stress and the stress response, and why simply “relaxing” is not enough to feel better. Instead, they introduce the concept of completing the stress cycle through physical and emotional release, connection, and rest.
Blending research with relatable examples and a compassionate tone, this book offers both validation and actionable strategies to help you feel less stuck, more supported, and more in control of your wellbeing.
