The Smolna Book Club: Third Chapter | Warsaw | EN

The Smolna Book Club Warsaw :
“The Burnout Society” by Byung-Chul Han
We live in an age of endless possibility — and endless exhaustion. In The Burnout Society, Korean-German philosopher Byung-Chul Han argues that modern society has shifted from a world of prohibition to a world of relentless positivity, where we are no longer oppressed by others but by ourselves. The result? Burnout, depression, and a profound loss of meaning.
This is the book that makes you stop and ask: am I living, or just performing?
What to expect:
A warm, open conversation where every perspective is welcome — whether you finished the book, only read half, or are simply curious. No pretension, just genuine exchange over ideas that matter.
