<p>Bestselling author Caroline Dooner joins with an important message as we enter a new year: Let's get some rest!</p><p>She is the author of the new book (coming Feb 22): <a href="https://carolinedooner.com/tired/"><em>Tired as F*ck: Burnout at the Hands of Diet, Self-Help, and Hustle Culture</em></a></p><p>Book summary: Offering a frank and funny critique of the cultural forces that are driving us mad, author <a href="https://carolinedooner.com/">Caroline Dooner</a> 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p>
