MIT Reads is a reading program for everyone at MIT, organized by the MIT Libraries.
Together we read a book, then gather outside of our normal classes and workdays to explore the ideas and important issues it raises. Through discussions and events, we build community and foster understanding.
All members of the MIT community are welcome to join.
Spring 2025 book selection – Burnout
We are delighted to announce our spring selection, Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily Nagoski, PhD and Amelia Nagoski, DMA.
About the book
Burnout is for women (or anyone) who has felt overwhelmed and exhausted by everything they have to do, yet still worried they weren’t doing “enough.” This groundbreaking book explains why women experience burnout differently than men—and provides a roadmap to minimizing stress, managing emotions, and living more joyfully. Sisters Emily Nagoski, PhD, and Amelia Nagoski, DMA, are here to help end the all-too-familiar cycle of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. They compassionately explain the obstacles and societal pressures we face—and how we can fight back.
While this book specifically looks at the experiences of women, we hope that all members of the MIT community will join us in reading and discussing this important topic.
Events
Information about events will be coming soon. Please join our email list or watch this space for further details.
MIT Reads is sponsored by the MIT Libraries, Graduate Student Council Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee, and the MIT Press.
