Synopsis

A biting humor collection about the cult of productivity and the feeling of impending doom that comes with it, from Reductress.
Juggling careers, maintaining relationships, managing side gigs, and sustaining an engaging social media presence is hard––and we're expected to do it all while battling the ever-present feeling of existential dread against the backdrop of climate catastrophe, an ongoing pandemic, and social isolation.

From the editors and most popular writers of Reductress, the only satirical women’s magazine in publication, How to Stay Productive When the World is Ending is a collection of essays, how-tos, and “inspirational” phrases to help you laugh when staying both sane and productive in a commodified world feels impossible. From “’Doing What You Love’ and Why That’s Bad,” to "Why I'm Prioritizing My Career Over Finding a Better Career," this collection perfectly skewers the indignities, big and small, of living through late-stage capitalism.

About The Author

The first and only satirical women’s magazine, Reductress takes on the outdated perspectives and condescending tone of popular women’s media. Sarah Pappalardo is the co-founder and editor of Reductress. Damien Kronfield is the Deputy editor of Reductress. Previous books include How to Win at Feminism - The Definitive Guide to Having It All - And Then Some!

A collection of different narratives towards saving yourself from the doom this world is headed to sarcastically! Looks like someone worked in corporate culture and vomited all their fucking suppressed sarcastic thoughts into this. Oh don't worry, I am only implementing the Author's advice to use the......more

I love silly satire. But silly satire that echos a lot of my own opinions and political beliefs back at me? Even better. It was very nice to put off working by reading this book about how ridiculous productivity culture and capitalism can be. The book is kinda like scrolling through the reductress w......more
