This book, written by sisters Emily Nagoski, Ph.D., and Amelia Nagoski, DMA, delves into the specific challenges women encounter with burnout. It provides a comprehensive, science-based approach to reducing stress and enhancing well-being. The authors define burnout as a combination of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a decreased sense of accomplishment, and they offer practical solutions such as completing the biological stress cycle, managing emotional triggers, and overcoming societal pressures. The book is divided into sections that explain the stress cycle, the impact of cultural norms on women's stress levels, and strategies for rest, human connection, and self-compassion. It includes helpful worksheets and exercises to empower women to combat burnout and achieve genuine wellness[1][3][5].
In *Rest Is Resistance*, Tricia Hersey illuminates the troubled relationship between rest and modern society, advocating for rest as a fundamental human right and an act of resistance. The book is rooted in spiritual energy and centered in Black liberation, womanism, somatics, and Afrofuturism. Hersey uses captivating storytelling and practical advice to guide readers in imagining a future where rest is exalted. She argues that rest asserts our basic humanity and pushes back against the oppressive grip of 'grind culture,' which is fueled by capitalism and white supremacy. The book serves as a call to action, a battle cry, and a field guide for those seeking justice and liberation from exploitative systems[1][2][5].
In 'Come as You Are', Emily Nagoski and Blanca González Villegas delve into the latest scientific research on human sexuality, offering insights and practical advice to improve sexual well-being. The book addresses various aspects of sex, including desire, arousal, and the complexities of sexual response, aiming to help readers understand and enhance their sexual experiences.
