She was married with children and had a good career. So why did she feel miserable? And why did it seem that the women around her were miserable, too?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCalhoun decided to find some answers. She looked into housing costs, HR trends, credit card debt averages, and divorce data. At every turn, she saw a pattern—sandwiched between the Boomers and the Millennials, Gen X women were facing new problems as they entered middle age, problems that were largely overlooked. Speaking with women across America about their experiences as the generation raised to \u003cem\u003ehave it all\u003c\/em\u003e, Calhoun found that most were exhausted, terrified about money, under-employed, and overwhelmed. Instead of being heard, they were told to lean in, take \u003cem\u003eme-time\u003c\/em\u003e, or make a chore chart to get their lives and homes in order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eWhy We Can't Sleep\u003c\/em\u003e, Calhoun opens up the cultural and political contexts of this predicament and offers solutions for how to pull oneself out of the abyss—and keep the next generation of women from falling in. The result is reassuring, empowering, and essential reading for all middle-aged women, and anyone who hopes to understand them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46534366003436,"sku":"9781922268419","price":35.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/11095313482872.jpg?v=1749429584"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/ada-calhoun.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
