by Zebedee Njisuh Feka (Author)
You are not tired because you're weak.
You are tired because you inherited a world that taught you to outrun your own humanity.
In The Weight of the Yam, Zebedee Njisuh Feka delivers a searing, deeply personal unravelling of modern burnout-beginning in the kerosene-lit quiet of his Cameroonian childhood and stretching into the relentless pressures of global hustle culture. Like Anne Helen Petersen's Can't Even or Devon Price's Laziness Does Not Exist, this book dismantles the toxic myths surrounding overwork. But it goes further-revealing how burnout is not only personal or generational, but historical, racialised, and rooted in colonial time, inherited shame, and the economics of visibility.
No other book connects these structural forces with such intimate, lyrical storytelling.
With a voice that is both tender and unflinching, Feka exposes the invisible machinery shaping how we strive, sacrifice, and break-then offers a radical alternative: you can reclaim a rhythm of life that finally works for you, not against you.
If you've ever felt behind, depleted, ashamed of resting, or trapped in a cycle of proving your worth, this book is your invitation home:
Stop performing.
Start rooting.
Grow at the pace your spirit remembers.
This is not another self-help fix.
It is a homecoming to dignity, community, and Soil Time
