Exhaustion

Autorentext

Anna Katharina Schaffner

Klappentext

This book helps us evaluate more critically the narratives we tell ourselves about exhaustion. By uniting the mind with the body and society , we attach larger questions of agency, willpower, and well-being to its symptoms. Exhaustion finds in our struggle to overcome weariness a more significant effort to master ourselves.
