Publisher Description
Blending memoir and blistering social observations, the author of The F*ck It Diet looks back at her desperate attempts to heal her hunger, anxiety, and imperfections through extreme diets, culty self-help methods, and melodramatic bargains with the universe.
Offering a frank and funny critique of the cultural forces that are driving us mad, Caroline Dooner examines how treating ourselves like never ending self-improvement projects is a recipe for burnout. We have become unknowingly complicit in perpetuating our own exhaustion because we are treating ourselves like machines. But even phones need to f*cking recharge.
Caroline takes a good hard look at the dark side of self-help, and explains how she eventually used a radical period of rest to push back against cultural expectations and reclaim some peace.
Tired As F*ck empowers us to say no to the things that exhaust us. It inspires us to carve out time to slow down, feel okay about doing less, and honor our humanity.
This is not a self-help book, it’s a cautionary tale. It’s an honest look at the dogma of wellness and spiritual self-improvement culture and revels in the healing power of rest and letting shit go.
Customer Reviews
Empowering!
Empowered women empower women and that is exactly how Caroline made me feel as I listened to her memoir. I laughed and cried throughout the book and found her story to be extremely relatable and awe- inspiring. I purchased the audio version but need a copy on my bookshelf, and so does everyone out there trying to survive in this crazy hustle culture!
Regret buying
Nauseating to see that the author has turned out to be an anti-vax transphobe. Needless to say she was not vocal about these beliefs when I purchased this book when it first came out. Now it makes me sick to my stomach thinking about how I willingly followed this woman and gave her my money. Won’t be making that mistake again.
