Welcome to burnout culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While burnout may seem like the default setting for the modern era, in \u003cem\u003eCan’t Even\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e, BuzzFeed\u003c\/em\u003e culture writer and former academic Anne Helen Petersen argues that burnout is a definitional condition for the millennial generation, born out of distrust in the institutions that have failed us, the unrealistic expectations of the modern workplace, and a sharp uptick in anxiety and hopelessness exacerbated by the constant pressure to “perform” our lives online. The genesis for the book is Petersen’s viral \u003cem\u003eBuzzFeed \u003c\/em\u003earticle on the topic, which has amassed over seven million reads since its publication in January 2019.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eCan’t Even\u003c\/em\u003e goes beyond the original article, as Petersen examines how millennials have arrived at this point of burnout (think: unchecked capitalism and changing labor laws) and examines the phenomenon through a variety of lenses—including how burnout affects the way we work, parent, and socialize—describing its resonance in alarming familiarity. Utilizing a combination of sociohistorical framework, original interviews, and detailed analysis, \u003cem\u003eCan’t Even\u003c\/em\u003e offers a galvanizing, intimate, and ultimately redemptive look at the lives of this much-maligned generation, and will be required reading for both millennials and the parents and employers trying to understand them.","brand":"Dey Street Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43365926699263,"sku":"9780358561842","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780358561842_s600x595.jpg?v=1780333898","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780358561842","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
