This book does not treat fatigue as failure or as a symptom to be overcome. It listens to it as a language. Across forty reflective fragments, it explores exhaustion as an ethical, silent, and often solitary experience — not merely physical, but symbolic, subjective, existential.

Against the logic of productivity, self-optimization, and permanent availability, this work reclaims the right not to respond, not to perform, simply to rest. Here, pause is not a strategy — it is presence. Silence is not absence — it is a form of resistance.

Each fragment is an interval. And it is within these intervals that thought returns, the body breathes, and time, for a moment, slows down. The Ethics of Fatigue offers no formulas, no answers — only the quiet courage of stopping. And in that gesture, it restores the dignity of continuing to exist without needing to prove anything.
