The anti-hustle guide to finding a balance that maximises happiness through intention and wisdom.\n\nOptimising every second of your calendar to the nth degree isn't a recipe for dreamlike productivity, it's a collision course for anxiety-riddled burnout. In our era of ever more time demands what are we to do?\n\nOliver Burkman in his book 4,000 week presents a guide to living as a human being in a messy and demanding environment that allows you to prioritise what's essential in a calm and rational manner. The key is to not forget what else is important in a life well lived besides productive output.\nWe can't be everywhere and do everything but anything we do commit to takes from the things we don't. Growing old and missing out on a bunch of important non-urgent life goals is not where you want to end up.\n\nThis episode discusses the 7 best lessons of wisdom from Oliver Burkmen's book along with some advice from Psychology and Sam's own experiences.\n\n\nUpgrade to Premium:\n\U0001f3d6\ufe0f Ad-free listening\n\U0001f918 Support the show\n\U0001f513 Exclusive AMAs and bonus content\n\U0001f4ac Community Discord\n GrowthMindset.Supercast.com\n\n\nMeet Sam\n\nFree Call - Schedule Link\n\n\n\nGrowth Mindset Psychology:\nSam Webster explores the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement.\n\n\nWatch - YouTube (Growth Mindset)\n\n\n\nWebsite - GrowthMindsetPodcast.com\n\n\n\n\nChapters:\n00:00 Impact of the Efficiency Mindset on Our Lives\n01:26 Questioning the Hustler Mentality\n02:55 #1 - Tracing the Roots\n04:38 #2 - Navigating Existential Overwhelm\n06:28 #3 - The Efficiency Trap\n07:50 #4 - Embracing procrastination \n10:06 #5 - Elevating Enjoyment\n14:36 #7 - Enriching your remaining weeks\n16:17 Live Life With 4,000 Weeks - embrace Time Management for Mortals\nLearn more about your ad choices.
