Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Blending memoir and blistering social observations, the author of The F*ck It Diet looks back at her desperate attempts to heal her hunger, anxiety, and imperfections through extreme diets, culty self-help methods, and melodramatic bargains with the universe.
Offering a frank and funny critique of the cultural forces that are driving us mad, Caroline Dooner examines how treating ourselves like never ending self-improvement projects is a recipe for burnout. We have become unknowingly complicit in perpetuating our own exhaustion because we are treating ourselves like machines. But even phones need to f*cking recharge.
Caroline takes a good hard look at the dark side of self-help, and explains how she eventually used a radical period of rest to push back against cultural expectations and reclaim some peace.
Tired As F*ck empowers us to say no to the things that exhaust us. It inspires us to carve out time to slow down, feel okay about doing less, and honor our humanity.
This is not a self-help book, it's a cautionary tale. It's an honest look at the dogma of wellness and spiritual self-improvement culture and revels in the healing power of rest and letting shit go.
Honest and hilarious, a humorist, in this cautionary tale, examines how treating ourselves with never-ending self-improvement projects is a recipe for burnout, and takes a good hard look at the dark side of self-help.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 287-293).
Dooner blends memoir and blistering social observation as she reflects on her desperate attempts to use extreme diets and culty self-help methods to cures her hunger, anxiety, and imperfections. She takes a good look at the dark side of self-help, and the never-ending self-improvement projects that can in themselves be a recipe for burnout. Instead, Dooner encourages readers to say no to the things that drain us, and carve out our own time to slow down, feel okay about doing less, and honor our humanity. -- adapted from jacket
