 In “The Burnout Society”, Byung-Chul Han investigates the reasons behind this psychological and existential crisis. He explores how the transformation from a disciplinary society to a performance-driven one has created a new kind of suffering – silent, internal, and self-inflicted. Through philosophical reflection, Han offers a sharp critique of modern neoliberal culture and proposes ways to heal both individuals and society as a whole.
