New York Times Best Seller

“This book is a gift! I’ve been practicing their strategies, and it’s a total game-changer.” (Brené Brown, PhD, author of the number one New York Times best seller Dare to Lead)

This groundbreaking book explains why women experience burnout differently than men - and provides a simple, science-based plan to help women minimize stress, manage emotions, and live a more joyful life.

Burnout. Many women in America have experienced it. What’s expected of women and what it’s really like to be a woman in today’s world are two very different things - and women exhaust themselves trying to close the gap between them. How can you “love your body” when every magazine cover has 10 diet tips for becoming “your best self”? How do you “lean in” at work when you’re already operating at 110 percent and aren’t recognized for it? How can you live happily and healthily in a sexist world that is constantly telling you you’re too fat, too needy, too noisy, and too selfish?

Sisters Emily Nagoski, PhD, and Amelia Nagoski, DMA, are here to help end the cycle of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Instead of asking us to ignore the very real obstacles and societal pressures that stand between women and well-being, they explain with compassion and optimism what we’re up against - and show us how to fight back.

In this audiobook, you’ll learn:

• What you can do to complete the biological stress cycle - and return your body to a state of relaxation
• How to manage the “monitor” in your brain that regulates the emotion of frustration
• How the Bikini Industrial Complex makes it difficult for women to love their bodies - and how to defend yourself against it
• Why rest, human connection, and befriending your inner critic are keys to recovering and preventing burnout

With the help of eye-opening science, prescriptive advice, and helpful exercises, all women will find something transformative in this audiobook - and will be empowered to create positive change. Emily and Amelia aren’t here to preach the broad platitudes of expensive self-care or insist that we strive for the impossible goal of “having it all”. Instead, they tell us that we are enough, just as we are - and that wellness, true wellness, is within our reach.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“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

“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

Ladies (and honestly gentlemen and non-binary folx too) please read this book!

This book is so incredibly helpful. Science backed tools to help you live life more fully! Just read it. You won’t regret it.

Every Woman Needs to Read This Book

This was a wonderful book. Practical, scientific and heartfelt. Thank you Nagoski sisters for having the courage to be vulnerable and real and share your experience with others.

Game Changer

First of all, I love it when the author reads their own book but bonus points if it’s an enjoyable performance, and this was. It was easy to listen to and had an element with the readings that you wouldn’t experience in print.

The content of the book itself is a must read for any woman in western society. It covers every aspect of what causes our stress and how to reframe and manage our reactions to it.

This should be required reading for high school girls.

Bravo!

Great for a time of transi9

I felt some heavy uneasiness when I changed jobs this year. This book spoke to and validated that feeling.

I took tons of notes

This book is rich in content, full of good examples and refreshing humor, and it was performed really well.

Every woman needs to listen to this book.

This book was so good! The Nagoski sisters use SCIENCE to explain why we feel so burned out, and then exactly what we can do to make it better! The performance is also so fun and relatable. Totally eye opening and mind blowing.

And after you are done reading it, read ‘Come As You Are’ by Emily Nagoski.
