      1. Highly recommend this book about burnout. A great read for anyone in a caring profession, especially women. Talks about the unrealistic expectations we have of givers, which goes so far that we deny ourselves self-care. burnoutbook.net/

      I learned a lot from this, not only from the perspective of a giver, but as a man understanding the completely unrealistic expectations we have of women and URMs.

    The lessons about the importance of rest and why we deny ourselves rest was really well done and has made me think about my own path. Also, a great discussion of what it means to empower someone to kick ass in the world.

      That said, if you have ever thought that what you're doing was not enough, and will never be enough, this book will nudge you to rethink that.
