Beating Toxic Productivity in a Hyper-capitalistic World: Transcend toxicity in your life

Our society has been captured by a ghost. The ghost that I call: toxic productivity. One of the things that’s been killing us for a while.

Modern society has set a couple of standards that we’re afraid of breaking, as a collective: waking up early, being productive all day, conforming to beauty standards and communication etiquette.

Those things make me feel like I’m surviving instead of living.

Productivity shouldn’t feel like being overwhelmed all day by emotions and incentives. It should feel great after completion.

In the modern world, productivity is something to show off with. In the dark ages, nobody said: “Look at me, I woke up at 5 AM and I’m a productivity monster now.”

The current trend of productivity nonsense is a product of what Marxists called Hyper-capitalism. In this book, I explain both concepts and unite them in the end.

Because how innocent this trend might look at first, there’s a relationship between toxic productivity and burnouts.
