A burnout coach's transformative insights on exhaustion, from ancient wisdom to modern life

A brilliant distillation of the key ideas behind successful self-improvement practices throughout history, showing us how they remain relevant today

This book helps us evaluate more critically the narratives we tell ourselves about exhaustion. By uniting the mind with the body and society, we attach larger questions of agency, willpower, and well-being to its symptoms. Exhaustion finds in our struggle to overcome weariness a more significant effort to master ourselves.
