SUMMARY:Librairie D+Q presents Anne Helen Petersen launching Can't Even
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the virtual launch of Anne Helen Petersen‘s new book Can’t Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation \nRSVP here: https://bit.ly/2GeLtiN \nWhere and How Can I purchase the books? Why our webstore of course… We ship Canada-wide!\nhttp://mtl.drawnandquarterly.com/webstore \nBy purchasing your book at Librairie Drawn & Quarterly you help support events like this one\, independent publishing and retailing\, our neighborhood\, and authors both local and from around the world who depend on independent bookstores for their livelihood. Your support is appreciated. \nCAN’T EVEN: HOW MILLENIALS BECAME THE BURNOUT GENERATION\nAn incendiary examination of burnout in millennials—the cultural shifts that got us here\, the pressures that sustain it\, and the need for drastic change. \nDo you feel like your life is an endless to-do list? Do you find yourself mindlessly scrolling through Instagram because you’re too exhausted to pick up a book? Are you mired in debt\, or feel like you work all the time\, or feel pressure to take whatever gives you joy and turn it into a monetizable hustle? Welcome to burnout culture. \nWhile burnout may seem like the default setting for the modern era\, in Can’t Even\, BuzzFeed culture writer and former academic Anne Helen Petersen argues that burnout is a definitional condition for the millennial generation\, born out of distrust in the institutions that have failed us\, the unrealistic expectations of the modern workplace\, and a sharp uptick in anxiety and hopelessness exacerbated by the constant pressure to “perform” our lives online. The genesis for the book is Petersen’s viral BuzzFeed article on the topic\, which has amassed over eight million reads since its publication in January 2019.\nCan’t Even goes beyond the original article\, as Petersen examines how millennials have arrived at this point of burnout (think: unchecked capitalism and changing labor laws) and examines the phenomenon through a variety of lenses—including how burnout affects the way we work\, parent\, and socialize—describing its resonance in alarming familiarity. Utilizing a combination of sociohistorical framework\, original interviews\, and detailed analysis\, Can’t Even offers a galvanizing\, intimate\, and ultimately redemptive look at the lives of this much-maligned generation\, and will be required reading for both millennials and the parents and employers trying to understand them.
