Ask almost any woman, and she will tell you: There’s a huge gap between what’s expected of women in America today and what it’s like to be a woman in America today. And trying to close the gap between those two things can be exhausting.
Yet many women don’t take chronic stress seriously. That bothered author and health educator Emily Nagoski. So she and her sister, Amelia, looked to science. How can women learn to release that stress? Is there more to self-care than a pedicure? How can women “lean in” when they are already giving 110 percent? The Nagoskis’ new book, “Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle,” lays out a science-based plan to help women minimize stress, manage emotions and live more rested, joyful lives.

This fall, Prince’s long-anticipated memoir “The Beautiful Ones” and an extended version of his landmark album 1999 will be released.
The Current’s Andrea Swensson wrote some of the liner notes included in the reissue of the album, which comes out in November. It will include 35 unreleased tracks, as well as archive concert footage from Houston.
“This period speaks to a real pivotal moment in his career,” Swensson said.
The memoir, expected to be released Oct. 29, was halted after Prince died of an accidental opioid overdose in 2016. He had started working on that project just a few months before his death. It will feature rare photographs and handwritten lyrics, according to the publisher, Random House.
It is a “deeply personal account of how Prince Rogers Nelson became the Prince we know: the real-time story of a kid absorbing the world around him and creating a persona, an artistic vision, and a life, before the hits and the fame that would come to define him,” the publisher said in a statement earlier this year.
