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. Whatβs expected of women and what itβs really like to be a woman in todayβs world are two very different things - and women exhaust themselves trying to close the gap between them. How can you βlove your bodyβ when every magazine cover has 10 diet tips for becoming βyour best selfβ? How do you βlean inβ at work when youβre already operating at 110 percent and arenβt recognized for it? How can you live happily and healthily in a sexist world that is constantly telling you youβre 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 weβre up against - and show us how to fight back.
In this audiobook, youβll learn:
βΒ Β Β Β What you can do to complete the biological stress cycle - and return your body to a state of relaxation
βΒ Β Β Β How to manage the βmonitorβ in your brain that regulates the emotion of frustration
βΒ Β Β Β How the Bikini Industrial Complex makes it difficult for women to love their bodies - and how to defend yourself against it
βΒ Β Β Β 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 arenβt here to preach the broad platitudes of expensive self-care or insist that we strive for the impossible goal of βhaving it allβ. Instead, they tell us that we are enough, just as we are - and that wellness, true wellness, is within our reach.
