About this listen

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Burnout by Amelia Nagoski and Emily Nagoski, read by Emily Nagoski.

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.


The gap between what it's really like to be a woman and what people expect women to be is a primary cause of burnout, because we exhaust ourselves trying to close the space between the two. How can you 'love your body' when everything around you tells you you're inadequate? How do you 'lean in' at work when you're already giving 110% and aren't recognized for it? How can you live happily and healthily in a world that is constantly telling you you're too fat, too needy, too noisy and too selfish? Sisters Emily Nagoski, Ph.D., the bestselling author of Come as You Are, and Amelia Nagoski, DMA, are here to help end the cycle of overwhelm and exhaustion, and confront the obstacles that stand between women and well-being. With insights from the latest science, prescriptive advice, and helpful worksheets and exercises, Burnout reveals:

* 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 fight back.
* why rest, human connection, and befriending your inner critic are key to recovering from and preventing burnout.

Eye-opening, compassionate and optimistic, Burnout will completely transform the way we think about and manage stress, empowering women to thrive under pressure and enjoy meaningful yet balanced lives. All women will find something transformative in these pages - and be empowered to create positive and lasting change.

Loved this book and audible reading. I could go on and on about how incredibly important this book is for so many people at this point in time, but instead I will say that it was so important for me to read this book right now. I will be recommending it to all of my friends and family, and I think there is so much that will benefit them too.

I read/listen many books of this kind but for the first time I understood few concepts that I didn’t grasp completely before. Their explanation is clear and very understandable. Their view of how to live life is full of realism and joy.

Genuinely Great!

Thank you Emily and Amelia
Very valuable book well presented. Already helping me and by extension others.

Excellent insights

The topic and approach of this book is so so important and needed, and there seem to be few other books addressing burnout from a social/feminist perspective. But the authors narrate the book in a sarcastic and self deprecating tone that I found quite patronising. More than narration, it’s an immaturity or nervous tic that made me question the authors. But the content is important, it busts myths about burnout that makes things harder for women, and I hope that it can help others

Great content, awful delivery
