"In Toxic Productivity, Israa Nasir shows how hustle culture has hijacked our ability to live meaningful, connected lives and offers expert guidance for reclaiming our time. A must-read for overachievers, perfectionists, and up-and-comers everywhere."
Amanda White, LPC, Author of I'm not drinking tonight, founder @therapyforwomen
“Combining brain science and data-driven studies with wisdom from the therapy room and poignant personal anecdotes, Toxic Productivity IS FOR the chronically over-committed, the compulsively over-achieving, and the constantly self-critical.”
Eve Rodsky, New York Times Best Selling Author of Fair Play
“In Toxic Productivity Israa Nasir delivers a powerful wake-up call for anyone caught in the relentless cycle of hustle culture. It's an essential read for anyone ready to stop running on the hamster wheel of achievement and start living a life that truly matters. This book doesn't just challenge the norms; it revolutionizes the way we think about productivity and self-worth.”
Sue Verma, Author of Practical Optimism
“In this insightful look at why we attend so much to what we're doing instead of where it is taking us, Nasir reminds us of the importance of getting off the hedonic treadmill and making deliberate choices about where we spend our energy."
Matt Wallaert, Author of Start at the End, and former head of BeSci at Microsoft & Clover Health
In a world that is obsessed with getting more done, I hope to unmask the hidden roots of hustle culture and dismantle the myth that ‘doing more makes you more worthy’.
Let this book guide you toward a transformative journey of self-discovery ―helping you reclaim your time, energy, and joy.
Struggling with perfectionism, productivity shame and guilt, and comparing yourself to others?
