Please join us for an open discussion about books that can enhance our lives and careers. Formatted specifically to fit into busy lifestyles, this fall our PWCC Book Club will be reading “Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle” by Emily Nagoski and Amelia Nagoski. Burnout. You, like most American women, have probably experienced it … What’s expected of women and what it’s really like to exist as a woman in today’s world are two different things - and we exhaust ourselves trying to close the gap. Sisters Emily Nagoski, PhD, and Amelia Nagoski, DMA, are here to help end the all-too-familiar cycle of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. They compassionately explain the obstacles and societal pressures we face - and how we can fight back. In these pages you’ll learn What you can do to complete the biological stress cycle How to manage the “monitor” in your brain that regulates the emotion of frustration How the Bikini Industrial Complex makes it difficult for women to love their bodies - and how to defend yourself against it With the help of eye-opening science, prescriptive advice, and helpful worksheets and exercises, all women will find something transformative in these pages - and will be empowered to create positive change. Join us for this virtual session where we will discuss the first three chapters of the book: Introduction Part I: What You Take With You • Chapter 1: Complete the Cycle • Chapter 2: #Persist • Chapter 3: Meaning Free to PWCC members/$15 non-members/guests
