Does it offer practical or personal solutions? I already know why I'm burned out, I just don't know what to do about it.

If you still need a book to help then look at Burnout by Emily and Amelia Nagoski :)

No, it's not a self-help book or anything like that. The only solution it really offers is for people to vote for massive societal change, which is not exactly a short term fix.

The end of this book had me surging with not what I would call "optimism," but with a sense of purpose. Petersen is issuing a "call to arms" for Millennials and Boomers alike to come together and finally admit that the American Dream is myth, debunk it publicly, and address all of the facets that are involved when an entire country full of people suffering from burnout are finally spiraling down for a crash landing.

No. In the introduction the author states directly states that this book is intended to start conversations regarding the generational experience of burnout not provide any solutions. (which is appropriate considering the author is a journalist and not a therapist)
