Burnout

Emily Nagoski

Collected in 2024 Reading List

“When you are kind and compassionate towards yourself, you increase the kindness and compassion in the world. Being compassionate towards yourself is both the least you can do and the single most important thing you can do to make the world a better place. The cure for burnout is not self-care, it is all of us caring for one another. You don’t have to wait until all your stressors are dealt with before you deal with your stress. You don’t have to wait for the world to be better before you make your life better. And by making your life better, you make the world better.” “Pay attention to how different it feels to interact with people who treat you with care and generosity, versus people who treat you as if they are entitled to whatever they want from you.”
