Summary:
"Do you feel like your life is an endless to-do list? Do you find yourself mindlessly scrolling through Instagram because you’re too exhausted to pick up a book? Are you mired in debt, or feel like you work all the time, or feel pressure to take whatever gives you joy and turn it into a monetizable hustle? Welcome to
burnout
culture. While
burnout
may seem like the default setting for the modern era, in Can’t
Even
, BuzzFeed 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 BuzzFeed article on the topic, which has amassed over eight million reads since its publication in January 2019. Can’t
Even
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, Can’t
Even
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."--From publisher.
