“Burnout is the gold standard of self-help books, delivering
cutting-edge science with energy, empathy, and wit. The authors
know exactly what’s going on inside your frazzled brain and body,
and exactly what you can do to fix it. . . . Truly
life-changing.”—Sarah Knight, New York Times bestselling author of
Calm the F*ck Down
“In Burnout, Emily and Amelia Nagoski deconstruct the stress we
experience as women, and their compassionate, science-based advice
on how to release it made me cry with gratitude and relief.
Repeatedly. In public. The book is that revolutionary and its
authors that wonderful and wise.”—Peggy Orenstein, New York Times
bestselling author of Girls & Sex: Navigating the Complicated New
Landscape
“Reading Burnout, I knew this was not just another self-help book
that keeps us trapped by the idea of female inadequacy. It turns
our struggle with stress on its head and paves a meaningful path to
what the authors call ‘growing mighty’ by bravely dropping in
thoroughly contemporary and refreshing truth bombs, like, yeah, the
patriarchal system is the issue, and goddamn it’s time we play by
our own rules!”—Sarah Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of
First, We Make the Beast Beautiful
“The first sentence of Burnout says, ‘This is a book is for any
woman who has felt overwhelmed and exhausted by everything she had
to do, and yet still worried she was not doing “enough.”’ (I raised
my hand in bed.) Emily Nagoski [and] her twin sister, Amelia,
teamed up to write about how to combat stress, and they have a gift
for making the self-help genre not make you want to poke your eyes
out.”—Cup of Jo
