About this listen
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.
Named One of the Best Books of the Year by Book Riot
"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 best-selling author of Calm the F--k 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, author of Girls and 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 best-selling author of First, We Make the Beast Beautiful)

Real Life Advice
This book was recommended to me by a doctor who was concerned about my stress. I listened to the opening/intro 3 times in order to catch it all because I was in tears from relating so closely to everything they said. The rest of the book was an eye opening, thought provoking next level of info nourishing my soul. I’ll be listening to the entire book all over again because it was so “real life” thought provoking. Highly recommend to any woman in the workforce trying to make a living or balancing work/life.

Genuinely empowering
The information gave me tools and direction to help manage my own mental wellness. I will likely repeat listen, as well as discuss it with my family and friends. I found the collab between 2 knowledgeable sisters endearing and their examples are very relatable. I like the added audio sounds to split up ideas or dramatise a thought. This was tasteful and not overdone. Applause, applause!

Exactly what I needed to hear
I happened upon this book at a very crucial time in my life, where I was in fact burned out from “Human Giver Syndrome”, as the authors call it. Their relatable stories and super engaging narration combined make this book an incredibly entertaining and enlightening listening experience.
Highly recommend this book for any woman who is feeling the burnout or stress cause by all the unrealistic expectations placed on women in today’s world, as well as the harsh expectations we have towards ourselves.

An Explanation for all the Extra Heaviness We’ve Been Carrying.
This book makes sense of it all. From being a woman living within the patriarchy (ugh) to the self talk that continues to shame us and keep us in our places. Even if you’re not ready to smash, this book will give you the reasons to why you feel like you can never do enough, BE enough. Life is hard. If you want to help yourself understand why it is...give this book a read.
