Exhaustion: A History - 9780231172318

This book helps us evaluate more critically the narratives we tell ourselves about exhaustion. By uniting the mind with the body and society, we attach larger questions of agency, willpower, and well-being to its symptoms. Exhaustion finds in our struggle to overcome weariness a more significant effort to master ourselves.
