Burnout

This was like what I learned about stress from [b:Come as You Are: The Surprising New Science that Will Transform Your Sex Life|22609341|Come as You Are The Surprising New Science that Will Transform Your Sex Life|Emily Nagoski|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1421037685l/22609341.SY75.jpg|42099345] but without the fun sex parts. Still, I'm glad it exists, as when reading about the stress parts inside the fun sex book, I wished for them to be more expanded and explained.
