The New York Times bestseller, “Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle,” is for women (or anyone) who has felt overwhelmed and exhausted by everything they have to do, yet still worried they weren’t doing enough. The book explains why women experience burnout differently than men—and provides a roadmap to minimizing stress, managing emotions, and living more joyfully.

For this book club episode, we dive into our own experiences with burnout and research from the book, including:

- the definition of burnout

- dealing with stress vs. dealing with stressors

- prioritizing physical activity, a good cry, affection, and positive social interactions

- the importance of finding meaning and “something larger” in life

- why we should spend 42% of our day resting

- knowing when to exploit your current situation or explore new options

- navigating compassion fatigue

- why healing sometimes hurts

- & so much more!

As the Nagoski sisters remind us, “Wellness is not a state of being but a state of action.” We think this book has many good practices and actions to take to prevent and manage burnout.
