Can't Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation

Autor Anne Helen Petersen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 ian 2022

An incendiary examination of burnout - what got us here, the pressures that sustain it and the need for drastic change

Are you tired, stressed and trying your best but somehow it's never enough?

Does your job seep into your evenings and your home life creep into your work?

Does the bottom half of your To Do list feel unreachable?

This is burnout and it is affecting how we work, parent, socialise and live.

Through her own experience, original interviews and detailed analysis, Anne Helen Petersen traces the institutional and generational causes of burnout. And, in doing so, she helps us to let go of our guilt and imagine a possible future.

'Genuinely enlightening... Can't Even is a reminder to the burned out generation that things can be different' Observer

Recenzii

Amazon's Top Ten Editor's Best of the Month picks for September   “Brilliant… Although Petersen wrote this before the pandemic, candidly talking about burnout culture that has now been impacted by two recessions, it’s more timely than ever.” Apartment Therapy   “[A] razor sharp book of cultural criticism…With blistering prose and all-too vivid reporting, Petersen lays bare the burnout and despair of millennials, while also charting a path to a world where members of her generation can feel as if the boot has been removed from their necks.” Esquire  "Whether you’re looking for solutions or just looking to feel seen, Can’t Even is a can’t-miss." Harper's Bazaar, "27 Best Books of 2020"   "Petersen’s third book, a highlight-every-sentence-in-recognition survey of the anxiety and exhaustion baked into the lives of myriad young people, dispels many of the myths and misconceptions—the laziness! the entitlement!—surrounding the generation that came of age amid the internet and economic collapse. Yet rather than pit millennials against boomers, Petersen makes meaningful and constructive connections between the toils and troubles of the two groups." O Magazine   "We think of capitalism as a way of organizing an economy. But given enough time, it goes beyond that: It organizes our lives, our hopes, our relationships. Anne Helen Petersen has written an analytically precise, deeply empathic book about the psychic toll modern capitalism has taken on those shaped by it. Can't Even is essential to understanding our age, and ourselves."—Ezra Klein, Vox co-founder and New York Times bestselling author of Why We're Polarized    "Can't Even is the Nickel and Dimed of this generation. A cogent and sober analysis of the economic lives that decades of precarity has wrought, told in Petersen's smart, measured style."—Tressie McMillan Cottom, assistant professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina and author of the National Book Award finalist Thick: And Other Essays      "Reading this incredible book, I had the overwhelming feeling of someone arranging the chaotic fragments of my life into a cohesive whole. Can’t Even felt like a field guide, a mirror, and an absolution. Compassionate, wise, and incisive, it is a defining work about a generation defined by work." —Ed Yong, writer, The Atlantic and New York Times bestselling author of I Contain Multitudes  "Can't Even is a compelling exploration of the phenomenon of burnout and how an entire generation has been set up to fail. As a Millennial, reading this book was a deeply cathartic experience. Anne Helen Petersen articulates the struggles and motivation of a generation so impeccably. Reading this book made me feel like finally, someone understands me. I wish I could give this book to everyone I know." —Taylor Lorenz, culture reporter, New York Times    "Trenchant and well-researched...an incisive portrait of a generation primed for revolt." Publishers Weekly   "In a cultural moment rife with inter-generational sparring ("OK, Boomer"), and with millennials garnering criticism for their transi —
