A sarcastic self-help book about global challenges for Millennials and GenZ
A hands-on approach on how to do life a little easier
Meet The Tired Overachiever Book
Conversations on repeat?
I'm writing The Tired Overachiever because I kept having conversations on repeat with my extended social circle. How do we deal with climate change? What is going on with the cost of living crisis? Why is it so hard to achieve racial and gender equality? Where do I start working on life work balance?
I wrote this book to download the lived experiences and research insights I kept on accumulating during the last few years, particularly in the pandemic. This is a book about our collective struggle and wisdom organized in an easy to use guidebook for how to do life a little easier if you're a Millennial or Gen Z. I hope you like sarcasm, I've sprinkled some on top of each chapter.

Meet The Tired Overachiever Author
Hi, I'm Madalina
I'm a sustainability strategist with experience in growing business across 5 countries. I work at the intersection of things and departments so I can make things happen with a focus on real impact for the planet. In between, I write, facilitate conversations or moderate events. This is how The Tired Overachiever came to life - I've had hundreds of conversations about work, life, climate change, pollution, economic instability, political polarization, access to healthcare and education, gender equality throughout the last decade. And as much as I love a good debate, most of these chats end up with us exhausted, whispering "What now?". So I wrote this book, it's a guide on how to do life as a Millennial and Gen Z, it's full of people's struggles and wins, I hope it makes your life a little softer.
