Synopsis

"Rise and grind!" "Time is money." "You can rest when you're dead!"

For decades, societal pressures have had us scrambling to do more, achieve more, overcome more, BE MORE—all with the promise that we'll feel accomplished, fulfilled, worthy . . . even happy. But it often comes at a price: our mental and physical health. Are we happier? Will it ever be enough?

Being productive isn't necessarily about how you manage your time. It's about how you manage your emotions.

In this timely and unsparing guide, psychotherapist and @well.guide founder Israa Nasir offers research-backed insight on dynamics such as self-worth, shame, social comparison, burnout, and perfectionism that keep us always busy but never satisfied. Combining therapeutic principles, personal anecdotes, client stories, as well as thought-provoking perspectives, Toxic Productivity will help you:

● Recognize the emotional patterns that drive your toxic productivity habits

● Create sustainable habits for reaching goals that are authentically meaningful to you

Let this book guide you toward a transformative journey of self-discovery—helping you reclaim your time, energy, and joy.
