Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle

Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle

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

â€œEssential reading.â€â€”Bustle

Burnout. Many women in America have experienced it. Whatâ€™s expected of women and what itâ€™s really like to be a woman in todayâ€™s world are two very different thingsâ€”and women exhaust themselves trying to close the gap between them. How can you â€œlove your bodyâ€ when every magazine cover has ten diet tips for becoming â€œyour best selfâ€? How do you â€œlean inâ€ at work when youâ€™re already operating at 110 percent and arenâ€™t recognized for it? How can you live happily and healthily in a sexist world that is constantly telling you youâ€™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 weâ€™re up againstâ€”and show us how to fight back. In these pages youâ€™ll learn

â€¢ what you can do to complete the biological stress cycleâ€”and return your body to a state of relaxation
â€¢ how to manage the â€œmonitorâ€ in your brain that regulates the emotion of frustration
â€¢ how the Bikini Industrial Complex makes it difficult for women to love their bodiesâ€”and how to defend yourself against it
â€¢ 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 worksheets and exercises, all women will find something transformative in these pagesâ€”and will be empowered to create positive change. Emily and Amelia arenâ€™t here to preach the broad platitudes of expensive self-care or insist that we strive for the impossible goal of â€œhaving it all.â€ Instead, they tell us that we are enough, just as we areâ€”and that wellness, true wellness, is within our reach.
