S1 E11 Beyond Exhaustion: The Burnout Society

Today’s episode dives deep into a different kind of exhaustion—not just physical tiredness, but the mental and emotional fatigue so many carry in silence. In what philosopher Byung-Chul Han calls the burnout society, we’re trapped in a cycle of self-imposed pressure, endless productivity, and the quiet erosion of our emotional well-being.

For many men, this pressure is amplified by cultural expectations: to be strong, to endure, to never show vulnerability.

This episode is a call to pause, to reflect, and to reconnect. To challenge toxic masculinity and embrace vulnerability, rest, and emotional connection as vital parts of a healthy life.
