NEW BOOK: Hustle & Float - Reclaim Your Creativity + Thrive In a World Obsessed w/ Work

Hustle & Float explores how our work culture creates contradictions between what we think we want and what we actually need, and points the way to a more humane, more sustainable, and, yes, more creative, way of working and living.

I've spent the past three years trying to understand why ambitious high performers often act against their own creative best interests, even when they rationally know better. Hustle & Float is the first book to holistically explore how our biology, history, and media narratives act as hidden influences that shape our attitudes and beliefs about work. This book covers a lot including: - Our mythologization of entrepreneurs as modern day work heroes, and how sacrifice, endurance, and suffering became classic markers of success. - The influence of the American Dream - Our changing notions of productivity as an individual practice - How creativity became a unit of economic output - The genetic component to creativity - The impact of the 2008 financial crisis on our work psychology ' - Exploring how technology (the gig economy etc) influences these beliefs and attitudes. Fortune Magazine described Hustle & Float as "A host of actionable solutions in this indispensable reference for smarter business."
