    While it started strong, this quickly became disjointed and fell flat.

    i placed this book on hold at my library in the wake of some awful burnout after completing an internship while still being expected to work full-time at my day job. it's been 6 months, and i'm at the point where it looks like the only thing that is going to allow me to fully recover is finding a new job.

    if you are in a similar situation to me, this book isn't going to tell you anything that you don't already know. in fact, the first half of the book was a struggle for me to get through because it was mostly just exposing my open wounds. i did, however, find the second half extremely helpful in terms of giving me perspective. i am not the only person who sees the problems, and i am not the only person struggling. and i have definitely been buckling under the weight of the "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" brainwashing of the early-2000s. it's almost like with reading this book, i've finally given myself permission to fully reject it.
