An acclaimed sociologist and researcher reveals how women can build the lives they really want
The term "mental load" has become more popular in recent years, but popular understanding of the concept often reduces it to simply managing a list of chores and logistical arrangements. Sociologist Leah Rubaner reveals that women's mental load is much deeper: it is a complex form of emotional thinking that is invisible, unlimited, and constant. In her book “Drainers,” Rubaner identifies eight distinct types of burdenmental, and highlights what makes it particularly heavy on women.
The core of the book is the “Mental Load Assessment,” a practical and effective tool to help readers evaluate how they are spending their time and attention, and how to take steps to effectively reset their energy."Drained" is a compelling and motivating book that will help women stop blaming themselves for always feeling inadequate, and will help them build a richer, less stressful life, full of meaning and joy.
