The Burnout Society
Paperback Kindle EditionIn "The Burnout Society," Han, Byung-Chul argues that contemporary society is characterized by an increasing prevalence of burnout. He traces this trend to a shift in societal values that have replaced traditional structures of power with systems of self-exploitation and flexible labor regimes. Han posits that our obsession with productivity and efficiency has led to a culture of excessive positivity, flattening of emotions, and a shallow focus on self-optimization. Ultimately, he argues that we need to break out of this culture and rethink our relationship to work, life, and the self to truly combat burnout.
