Can't Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation
by Anne Helen Petersen
challenging
emotional
informative
reflective
sad
medium-paced
📚 I felt like shouting YES TO ALL OF THIS about every page.
📚 Petersen links a lot of seemingly disparate events and situations together, showing how they weave together to bring us to the point of burnout.
📚 While I know I have fared better than many people my age, it's still deeply validating to see my experiences and those of my peers laid out on the page and have someone saying "it's not all in your head."
📚 Petersen does make some effort to discuss how these situations can be compounded for BIPOC and/or lower class millennials, but I do think it could have been investigated further.
