I’m a counsellor who works with folks on issues around burn-out, emotional stress, minority stress, anti-capitalism and activism. This book has been an essential resource for myself, my colleagues and clients I have recommended it to.
Nicole’s hard-won wisdom on the intersection of mental health, physical health, activism and burn-out is vital, valuable and deeply appreciated.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand burnout as a collective issue, not as the individual issue that many would have us believe. It’s a thorough memoir of the origins story of burnout, its many pernicious effects, why we might burn out, and what we can do about it, all told with compassion and radical honesty.
