The Burnout Manifesto: How to Release Existential Dread and Build the Life You Actually Want

★ "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 ★As the only child of a freshly immigrated family, Eve Berkovich felt pressured to do what was considered "stable and responsible" instead of living the life she truly wanted. Unable to trust herself in decision-making about her own life, she struggled with emotional instability, overthinking, existential dread, and suicidal ideation. Even after years of intensive mental health treatment, she found herself among many peers of former gifted kids turned dissatisfied, burned-out adults. Once tired enough of her life's stagnation, Berkovich set out on a journey to radically transform her life, starting from within. In The Burnout Manifesto, 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, Jen Sincero, and Abraham Hicks. She also earned a Bachelor's degree with honors in Sociology from Amherst College, which should probably count for something. Berkovich's dynamic voice sheds a shockingly hilarious light on dark and stigmatized topics.
