"The Burnout Society" is a thought-provoking philosophical work authored by Byung-Chul Han. In this insightful book, Han explores the phenomenon of burnout and its broader implications for contemporary society. Drawing from various philosophical traditions and cultural analyses, Han argues that modern society is characterized by a pervasive culture of exhaustion, stress, and overwork. He examines how the relentless pursuit of productivity, success, and self-optimization has led to a state of chronic fatigue and psychic depletion among individuals. Through incisive observations and critical analysis, Han reveals how the neoliberal ethos of individualism, competition, and relentless self-improvement has contributed to the rise of burnout as a pervasive social phenomenon.
