The Burnout Society by Byung-Chul Han

The Burnout Society by Byung-Chul Han

Byung-Chul Han's argument is that the twentieth century was a society of discipline — walls, prohibitions, someone telling you no — and the twenty-first is a society of achievement, in which you are told you can do anything and therefore have no one to blame.

The result is not freedom but a person who exploits himself voluntarily and calls it ambition, and whose characteristic illnesses are depression, burnout and attention deficit rather than infection. Han also defends boredom, contemplation and the ability to say no as things we have lost.

Around sixty pages, and one of the most influential works of contemporary philosophy.
