Society & Culture
Are millennials the burnout generation? Why does it feel like literally everybody else in the world has a better grip on life than we do? If we don't work out, meal prep our Insta-worthy lunches, get three double promotions at work and develop our own strain of cannabis at college, does it mean we've failed?
Well, it certainly feels like it.
In this episode, we talk about what it's been like growing up with that kind of pressure. We also try to understand where that pressure came from us. Where do we go from here? What does the process of recovery look like?
We discuss:
- Status Anxiety (Alain de Botton, 2004)
- Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy (David Burns, 2008)
- 'How Millennials Became The Burnout Generation' (Anne Helen Petersen, 2019)
- Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home (Toko-pa Turner, 2017)
- Gary Vaynerchuk
