About this audiobook
Burnout, But Make It Relatable is the brutally honest, laugh-so-you-don’t-cry guide to surviving work when you're over it, underpaid, and low-key dissociating in meetings.
Written by Celeste Hana, a very tired but very real Gen Z professional, this audiobook delves into everything from toxic productivity and generational chaos to burnout, fake friendships, and figuring out whether to stay, pivot, or completely exit the 9-to-5.
No toxic positivity. No hustle bro nonsense. Just real talk, actionable tips, and survival strategies for anyone who’s exhausted, isolated, and ready to reclaim their life.
Because you’re not the problem.
The system is.
Whether you're doomscrolling on your commute or crying in the break room, this audiobook is for you.
