Self Care Can't Save Us: How Solidarity, Not Care, Will Us From Hustle Culture

More than half of working adults in the U.S. say they're experiencing at least some degree of that dreaded late-stage-capitalism affliction: burnout. But workplace well-being needn't remain out of reach. With a focus on actionable alternatives, Self Care Can't Save Us examines the mash-up of money and morality that got us into this mess alongside practical ways we can get ourselves out of it. Author Caroline Moore digs into hustle culture's takeover of the way we do business, how its rise has allowed work to creep into every aspect of our daily lives, and how we can re-envision what work is and what it should mean to us. Exploring possibilities like co-op models, shorter working weeks, policy changes in the workplace, and other simple adaptations to help you to thrive, this book offers real tools to battle burnout, rather than burning you out with more burnout facts. Whether you're a business owner, a union steward, a new employee, or a freelancer, this is the working person's guide to making positive change for ourselves and each other.
