Sometimes it seems that no amount or combination of time optimization, side hustles, and productivity enhancement can help us rid ourselves of constant feelings that we're just not doing "enough" or that we're not doing things "right." But where can we turn to when the typical diet of self-help and motivational book therapy doesn't seem to solve the problem? In Getting Over Ourselves: Moving Beyond a Culture of Burnout, Loneliness, and Narcissism, human development specialist and leadership coach Christina Congleton delivers an incisive and timely exploration of how people, particularly millennials, can get beyond the tired clichés of the self-help genre and gain unexpected capacities to thrive and lead. The author examines how crushing student debt loads, consecutive financial crises, and a surprising uptick in depression, substance abuse, and suicide are combining to reduce the otherwise extraordinary potential of millennials everywhere. She also provides concrete strategies rooted in developmental psychology to counteract those negative influences and help people from a variety of backgrounds flourish. In this book, you'll find insights into why "life hacks," productivity seminars, and more "adulting" are not the solutions to the issues faced by the millennial generation. Instead, you'll find a framework that rejects the idea that there is a separate, solitary "self" in need of constant improvement, connecting you with your deeper humanity. You'll also discover effective techniques for fending off burnout and move beyond your unsatisfactory status quo. The antidote to the skin-deep, ineffective, and counter-productive "self-help" material you've been finding elsewhere, Getting Over Ourselves is a must-read resource for young and mid-career professionals, business leaders, members of new and growing families, and anyone else hoping to simply get more out of life. Perfect for young and mid-career professionals, business leaders, workers, people in new and growing families, and anyone seeking less "productivity enhancement" and more contentment, Getting Over Ourselves is an ideal prescription for the generation that's experienced more stress and upheaval than many others.
