Publisher's Synopsis
"In The Burnout Manifesto, Berkovich offers a stirring invitation to let go of shame and embrace the creative power within us. If you're a young adult in this crazy world, you can truly benefit from Berkovich's compassionate wisdom."
- Carolyn Elliott, PhD, author of Existential Kink: Unmask Your Shadow and Embrace Your Power
Countless intelligent and highly capable young adults feel like they're "not enough."
As a timely guide for those who feel pulled between doing what they've been taught is "responsible" and what they actually want to do with their lives, The Burnout Manifesto encourages readers to discover their inherent value and build the lives of their dreams.
Author Eve Berkovich candidly shares her tales of navigating mental illness and taking her personal growth into her own hands. She takes readers through the mindset shifts and practices that helped her achieve her first true accomplishment: actually desiring to live.
The expertise gained from Berkovich's life experience is supported by her rigorous study of the world's most inspiring self-help and spiritual wisdom, including the works of Eckhart Tolle, Byron Katie, and Abraham Hicks. She also earned a Bachelor's degree with honors in Sociology from Amherst College, which should probably count for something.
Are you so good at self-criticism that you won't even think about sharing your unique creative gifts with the world?
Are you reluctant to follow any life path that your parents haven't personally recommended to you?
If so, The Burnout Manifesto is here to tell you that you're evading true responsibility by keeping your creative power locked inside of you.
Reading The Burnout Manifesto will help you understand:
- How you've been using your brilliant mind to self-sabotage
- How listening to others and "playing it safe" has kept you stuck
- How traditional understandings of responsibility and hard work have been encouraging you to settle for less than you truly deserve.
As you explore the journal prompts & action steps at the end of each chapter, you will become inspired to:
- Adjust your self-talk and become your own best friend
- Find value in every part of yourself, even the parts labeled as symptoms or flaws
- Reconcile your existential dread and free yourself from toxic cycles of overthinking
- Take true responsibility for your overall wellness by embracing laziness, being selfish, listening to yourself before anyone else, and taking wild leaps of faith as you live life on your own terms.
★ After reading The Burnout Manifesto, you will be ready to build the future you actually want. You'll feel empowered to set goals based on your true desires, all while casting away self-doubt and trusting the process along the way. ★
