You Are Not Lazy
Description
From a licensed psychologist and researcher at Mt. Sinai Medical Center comes the science-backed book exhausted women have been waiting for.
You are not lazy. You are not ungrateful. You are not falling apart. You are burned out, and burnout is not a character flaw. It is a physiological state that happens when the demands on a person consistently exceed the body's capacity to recover. For women carrying the invisible load, that threshold gets crossed every single day.
"You Are Not Lazy. You Are Running on Empty." explains exactly what is happening in your body and your brain when burnout takes hold, why willpower does not fix it, why rest does not always feel restful, and why the strategies you have already tried have not worked. Then it tells you, in plain English and with specific research-backed steps, what does.
Dr. Patricia A. Farrell draws on decades of research in neuroscience, psychology, and caregiver health to give women something they rarely get: a real explanation of what chronic overload does to the female body, and a clear, no-jargon path out of it.
No patient anecdotes. No inspirational filler. No advice that requires a lifestyle you do not have. Just science, stated clearly, for the woman who is already doing everything and has nothing left.
If you are exhausted in a way that sleep has stopped fixing, this book was written for you.
