We've put entrepreneurs who brag about 100-hour work weeks on a pedestal. We've nodded along as "thought leaders" preach that sleep is for the weak and vacation days are for losers. The mentality that if you're not grinding 24/7, you're falling behind has been the dominant narrative in certain circles for years. But at some point, this hyper-performative mindset crossed a line from inspirational to...well, just plain sad as fuck. https://joanwestenberg.com/hustle-culture-is-fucking-cringe

All of these people need to read this, and then supplement it with the Good Enough Job by Simone Stolzoff. Life is about living.

It's also killing for creativity, one needs large swathes of nothingness for that. 420 $degen

Real success is simply living a life, which includes work and love, as you mentioned. We often forget to invest emotionally. Thanks!

Great read. The funny thing about hustle culture is that it's never towards the common good and usually about vapid stuff that puts more useless crap into the world, like dropshipping or ponzi-esque business models.

This was me until it made me so ill in my mid 20s that it took 2 years to recover. During that time I learned a lot about working smarter vs harder. 333 $degen
