Hustle Culture Is Slowly Killing You

We need to stop and question the direction our society is going.

Here's what I'm reading:
The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: amzn.to/41kH9DS
Atomic Habits: amzn.to/3Y2gAAV
The Psychology Of Money: amzn.to/3kzmRp0
Society has gotten to the point where we value someone's self worth by how many zeros they have in their bank account, employers are now spying on their employees, and easier access to work has created new expectations. Due to advancements in technology and changes in society, there has been a concept that has infected almost every industry in society called, "Hustle culture.
Hustle culture focuses on extreme efficient and productivity that often leaves people burn out, stressed out, and extremely anxious. I think it is time we take a long, hard look at our society's relationship with work, money, and what is important. In this video, I pose 5 questions to challenge the direction that we are currently moving in.
1. What kind of change does the world really need?
We often talk about changing the world, but we don't often think critically about what change means. Change is not always good and sometimes when you try to make changes in society, you end up causing more problems than you started with. Many "successful" people promote working burnout schedules of 80 hours a week to dedicate making change; however, what kind of change does the world need and does promoting burnout schedules lead to positive changes in society.
2. What is the point of productivity?
In the last 10-15 years, we have really become obsessed with productivity to the point where it has become toxic in out society. We have things like calendars full of meetings and tasks, time tracking software, and many apps that help us live more productive lives. As we advance more and more in technology, machinery, and education, we become more productive; however, instead of using these tools to make our lives easier, we use them to make our lives more difficult. As we become more advanced, what is the point of constantly chasing productivity is this leads to a more burnt out society.
3. What happens to society when we glorify billionaires?
In our society, we often put rich people on a pedestal and act as if they have made the biggest impact on society. We glorify their positions of power and the lifestyles they live. As we have more access to seeing how other people live through various forms of entertainment, I think it is important to question what values, ethics, and morals come from glorifying rich people. And if majority of the population aspires to be this type of person, what happens to that society?
4. What are the fundamental needs of a human?
Times change, but people don't. Throughout history, although we have changed in someways, what a human being needs has not changed. We have had the same fundamental needs as our ancestors did. Our basic needs are food, water, and shelter; however, some of our deeper needs are safety, relationships, acceptance, contribution, and freedom. When you look at the direction hustle culture is taking us in society, I think it is important to question if it is leading to our fundamental needs being met.
5. In the end, what really matters?
Since humans have been on Earth, it is estimated that there have been over 117 billion human beings. You are one human in that legacy. In the grand scheme of things, our lives are pretty insignificant. And although some people might look at that in a bad light, I think it is something that should be embraced because it makes you think about how you want to live your short amount of time on this planet. As society becomes more and more complex, I think it is important to take a step back and remind yourself that we are here for a short amount of time and reflect on what truly matters.

In the end, what's really matters to you?

[@omalleysmith9100]

What matters to me is self actualization. Being my most authentic self and following my curiosity instead of doing what my conditioning and society has told me I should be doing or caring about.

[@Luncheon23]

Being true to what I believe in; being kind to people around me; and living a fruitful and happy life free of debt and negative emotions towards other people and life in general.

[@asavannah7439]

Love, relationships, health, happiness

[@createone100]

The world needs calm and kindness. Also, in my experience, it is not so much ordinary people who ‘glorify’ billionaires, it is the media that is completely obsessed with them.

[@Christina-sf4py]

The media is feeding us what they want to feed us not what we want or need. Eg. In Australia now soccer is waay more popular than the traditional football that was popular decades ago..yet every evening on the news there you are force fed twice or three times in between the actual news items....football !!

Society tells us to become bigger and better and stronger. It is good to have strengths. But it goes too far and becomes a cut throat competition. And you are wondering around to achieve and prove to people who even don't care too much about you.

[@josephbrown9685]

The average person has been deceived into thinking that working more to buy more luxuries is the ultimate goal in life. It makes a lot of money for greedy people who are already wealthy. I never bought into hustle culture. I’m not very wealthy, but I’m content and happy overall with a healthy work/life balance.

[@GoldenMushroom64]

The only thing hustle culture gets right is that it is a lot of hard work to achieve big goals etc and nobody is gonna do the work for you That’s why I’m so conflicted because yeah I feel like I’m dying but the alternative is failure

[@nicolletelangdon2694]

Yup, technology has really "helped" us. We have dishwashers, washing machines, electric or gas powered lawn mowers.... yet parents are spending less time with their children. Everyone has their own TV in their room, so even at the house people are separated from each other.

[@ElAgustin]

It's a double edged sword!

[@nickgrunwell3539]

It's sad but true. We spend most of our time at work to pay for things to make our home life easier. So we can work more.

[@EvaCFricke]

Marriages fall apart because people have become avoiders. For example, husband spends so much time on the phone or computer. His wife feels alone plus taking care of kids and doing household chores.

The irony is these billionaires have people who do all the hard work which makes them rich and the masses who admire them contribute to their coffers by buying into what they're selling hoping to have a piece of that success.

[@Jennhealy]

💯 Hustle culture has definitely caused anxiety and depression in a lot of people. Can’t say that I wasn’t one of them. Slowing down and being intentional has been life changing. Another great video! 👍🏻

[@MorganZex]

I have a job which allows me to pay rent, save some money and have enough spare time to cultivate my hobbies, which primarily are drawing and reading. I own a small car and live in a small apartment. I have few friends but they are very close and always there for me. I make people happy with my drawings. I'm in a wholesome and long lasting relationship. And I'm very happy with my life,despite not having much money, a big house, a fancy car and having a troublesome health condition. Being the best version of myself, being kind, helpful and compassionate makes me happy and helps me going through rough times. I really think people shouldn't look for happiness on the outside, because you can't control most of the things surrounding you. I'm really working with my girlfriend to help her see that despite not owning much we actually have a lot. I don't feel I need more than this, having her by my side, a roof on my head, food on the table and the ability to keep working on my artworks is more than enough to make me feel a lucky man.

[@akashsunil7464]

Wow, truer words have never been spoken

[@DuTubeable]

I agree... changed up my life to get rid of the "excess" bills and overhead so I wouldn't have to work as much. But there are different types of "hustle culture"... Building a business - there may be lots of hustle putting systems in place, creating a product... Urgency to "serve" those in front of you because of demand or even short-staffed. Having to work more hours or a 2nd job because the job doesn't pay enough to meet basic needs (or saving for something special). I am tired of seeing people having to "hustle" simply because wages are not matching cost of living or hours are cut at your main job. this is happening more and more. I've said many times, I would be happy serving coffee in a great space.... if it actually paid the rent. Finding something you enjoy that brings in a decent income, that gives you satisfaction and provides value to others is something I believe we all want...

[@catherinemurray1618]

Thanks, I don't like hustle, even as a kid, I thought the schools wanted to much from us. I rarely did my homework, as I felt like I had given enough of myself and I needed time to play, relax and be with my parents and siblings. To this very day I feel the same with work, working the least that I can afford financially. Life is only measured by your happiness.

[@rosj91]

As someone who has already gone through a burnout because of hustle culture, your video is spot on! I now focus on being calm and I have never felt better!

Another great video. As I’ve stated before, Austin’s videos need to be a required subject in our schools.This is the role model to follow, not the millionaires. He still continues to inspire me. 💕

[@theharshtruthoutthere]

No place for BIBLE (KJV)? Among the other books? Practising reading but keeping far from BIBLE? BIBLE is the only book which is filled with the basic instructions before leaving earth = BIBLE. Never had the interest of knowing how to live on earth? Parsing man made schools, but satisfied having existence with the lack of knowledge?

[@rhondalyn100]

Austin Williams: How fortunate you are to be an old soul in a young body. Your latest backdrop is lovely but it needn't be the "only one". I appreciated your kitchen with the cluttered photo collage on your fridge, I appreciated your bedroom, well lit. I appreciated your bedroom with the dark curtains, I appreciated your living room before and I appreciate your living room now. I would enjoy another walkabout in the hills surrounding your place. Keep your message clear and focused and your backdrop ever changing. This offers varied interest beyond the knowledge you present. 🙂

[@ElAgustin]

It's easier with a background because I don't have to constantly adjust lighting due to natural light interfering and I don't have to clean my living room before starting a video! Saves me a lot of time!

[@shumatsuopost]

Remember to take breaks and prioritize your well-being. Hustle culture can be motivating, but it's important to balance it with self-care and rest.

[@DesertMav]

This is really true. It is good to be productive, but we established a 40 hour standardized work week to keep ourselves from working to death. I do not participate in hustle culture since I value my free time. Also, nice color palette change in the room.

[@NJGuy1973]

I volunteer for a few hours a week. It's my way of saying, "I have more than enough time to give, and I can afford to do something without asking for something in return." And instead of changing the world, maybe we should let the world change us.

[@katherinepace7369]

I love the new background! Not as dark. Great content, as always! It's always beneficial to question our assumptions and question why we do what we do.

[@jeremyburton1443]

Faith and spiritual life is the best antidote to corrosive societal pressures.

[@michellemccormick8633]

I was listening to this video as I hustled at my desk to meet some arbitrary productivity goal put in place by folks who’ve never done the actual work when something that you said really hit home. I hate all this focus on productivity and it seems the older I get the more they want from me and my fellow co workers😢. As you stated we can only be but so productive! I like your background btw. Looks very bright and welcoming. Keep up the good work and have a great weekend!

[@virgil3241]

I dont, but I hustled when I was a young adult so I could have things I didn't when I was younger, and so my kids had a better life than I did. Growing up a poor farmer in Canada, I appreciate all I have now. But at my next stage of life now, which is soon an empty nester at 50, I definitely relax more and just live with what I have, as I go to the next step of my life.... retirement. I dont need to prove anything to anyone anymore. But my hustle in my 20's and 30's allows me to not hustle now

[@ellyne3863]

I have 2 young children. I’m a stay at home mom; but I can say this for certain: if both me and my husband worked 80, even 50 hours a week our children would suffer. What the world needs is to invest wisely in the next generation. Help create *empethetic*, creative, free thinkers. Sticking young children in 50 hours of daycare a week with 2 burnt out stressed out parents I can guarantee will not create a healthy future generation. Nothing wrong with 2 working parents but we need to make sure parents can give plenty of attention to nurture and shape the next generation.

I was to the point where if I was not busy (for example working two weeks straight before enjoying a day off) and if I was not feeling stressed about something my value was reduced and I would cope in an unhealthy way nit picking and searching for something to be stressed about. I am an anxious person so this was pretty destructive and worsened it. It's not an overnight process but working towards the less busy path to a more pleasurable but functional path has drastically improved things. Looking forward and nor around at others us life changing.

John Maynard Keynes ( Keynes is pronounced " CAINS ") Let's face it: Humans are treated by Capitalist managers like sheep or, in Orwellian terms, PROLES One answer is to become your own boss. Select a job/profession where you don't work FOR someone else. Plumber Electrician Illustrator Photographer. A job that travels so you can easily pick up and change place Cosmetician Hair stylist And, you need to change your values. WEALTH, STATUS, POSSESSIONS are cheap values.

I guess I am old fashioned cause I do not have a smart phone, full confession, my husband has one.

El Austín, the names you mentioned as being the premier hustle culture figures are in fact part of the tame crowd. My A list of "Hustle Vulture Culture" gurus includes, in no particular order of ranking: Dan Peña, Dan Lok, Brian Rose, Eric Thomas (ET), Gram Stephen, Grant Cardone, and the young man with the turbans (I can not recall his name). I may add "Meet Kevin too???)

Appreciate the beauty of Creation, be thankful for it, respect it, yourself and others. Go back to basics. Be content. Read more books. Turn off the **""*"";;!& TV.

[@omegac5589]

I have liked all your backgrounds so far.

[@MYZTICTRAVLER]

Yes, hustle culture is toxic. But the gods and goddesses hyping that culture are worse than Novichok. Meaning, they are lethal agents for the worse. Speaking of God....I see you use the word "El" in your title. While I think you want to imply its meaning to be the Spanish "Mr." it is also the word for Hebrew "God." And! El also forms part of the Hebrew plural for "Gods" which is Elohim. There is debate that it can mean "The Powerful One."

3thumbs up I appreciate your video's but this one is Oscar-worthy. I just ordered The Age of.....and hope you get an affiliate bonus.

You’re background is fine 🤍✨☕️🫖 great tips and suggestions ✨thanks Austin

[@debraglows]

I am here because I am tired looking for money. It’s like all I did was to look for money and pay bills. Makes me feel more masculine. I miss feminine energy where I’m just calm and relaxed and can sleep and rest and take a break without guilt of using my time for other things instead of looking for money

[@Truth-of-the-matter]

The current trap of society: Work more -->> Buy More -->>Promotions-->>Buy More-->>Work More. Once you see that our capitalist system is built on the buying of selling and goods you realize the trap that people end participating in their whole life believing that the product they are making greatly benefits others.

[@sassygirl5271]

Loving the new background 👍

[@richricogranada9647]

Thankfully, I just retired, as I would not survive living in workplaces anymore with this weird society.

[@danicegewiss862]

In the end what matters to me is I made a difference. I'm constantly pushing towards that goal. We donate to the poor regularly. My husband called me and told me about a homeless man with no shoes. We got his size and bought him a pair but his feet had become deformed from being homeless. We gave him the socks and another homeless man the shoes. He hasn't seen the man since. We think he died. He was in really bad shape at the time. We want to build a village for these people where they can live and work. My husband asked me to create it on paper which we did. Step by step we're getting there. I love your background, by the way.

[@NJGuy1973]

Next time, just give old or used shoes to a local thrift shop.

Hustle culture kinda makes me think about the story of the fisherman and the entrepreneur: A fisherman takes his small boat to sea everyday to fish a fish to last him the day. One day, as the fisherman is relaxing, an entrepreneur sits beside him and asks: "why don't you buy a bigger boat?" The fisherman answers: "why sould I do that?" The entrepreneur explains: "that way you can spend your days fishing a lot more fishes and sell them to the market. Sure you'll need to work hard at first to pay back the boat. But it will pay off in the long run. After some years you will be able to buy new boats and hire people to run them. You'll be rich! Then you will stop working to live off your hard work and finally will be able to relax." The fisherman then answers: " Well, what do you think I am doing right now?"

Marriages fall apart (in USA) because many men are busy doing job and trying to make more money and prove to their spouse and the society. Your wife needs your time. Many women are busy doing household chores and taking care of the kids. They are exhausted to pay attention to their husband's needs. Busyness in work or doing chores kill marriages. So slow down. Be present in the moment. Enjoy the present and don't be perfect. Focus on the most important things in life which is family and relationship.

[@juanitalangley4227]

Love the new background but I also loved the other background 😁 The content is great & I look forward to every video. It always gives me something to think about in a new way.

[@kaninma7237]

I work about 100 hours a month, and I pursue my writing for one or two hours a day. I enjoy my seven to fourteen weekly hours of writing, and my books steadily progress. This also leaves plenty of time for other things that are also important to me, including relationships, reading, listening to music and walking.

People of the world, stop practicing wickedness and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Heaven and hell are real places. Pray and read the Holy Bible.

[@flohough1870]

100% agree! I see so much pressure put on people in assorted customer service positions to sell sell sell, and yet it's the customer service that suffers in the long run, so everyone is frustrated. Literally laughed out loud at Elon Musk and his Twitter addiction, that was perfect.

[@amyjenicke1845]

I like the new background better. The last one was a little too dark for my taste. I’m interested to see what else you come up with!

[@ElAgustin]

I can't wait to see too! haha

[@pattykake7195]

I do like your back drop…it’s minimalistic but stylish….👌🏽

[@bombowiec222]

best background was on the beginning, it was just casual background of living room, nothing special, just open space. I thing the content is the most important :)

[@themagicallandscape]

honestly liked the living room background the best. Had more depth to the shot vs. up against the flat wall. You can try shooting with the corner of your room as the backdrop to add depth and move as far away from it as possible. But great content none the less.

[@ElAgustin]

Looks like you're the photography guy. You need to come to Colorado and set up something for me!

[@happyliving1922]

By "work" Elon means shitposting on Twitter 80 hours a day.

[@maureenmccrackin6933]

I prefer the new background. Much less 'moody'.

Why should one be so rich? To leave great inheritance to moocher children? HELL NO!

Our healthcare system is also using productivity for Doctors. Their patients are the products. I know because my sister is a Dr. No wonder we have inhumane treatment of people in our culture.

[@Ponzuu28]

Yes, the background is a lot later a little bit more cheerier good work

[@williamramos3350]

The painful truth is that we lost as a society. We need money to live. There is no questioning this. Everything has and will continue to be extremely expensive. There is no escaping that. Some will choose death than to continue to live in this misery. Unfortunately, the fact of the matter is that people are so obsessed with it because it gives them a sense of power and control. But most have no clue the irreparable damage that is has caused and don't care. That is why trying to fix something that is beyond fixing is meaningless.

[@NWSIMU]

I am the most laid back person who refuse to run after life and i thought smtng was wrong with me 😅. I have spent a lot of time enjoying with my family and dont mind not having a fast life 🤷‍♀️

[@lisaparker9183]

Like the new background much better. Was not a fan of the darker background. My favorite is the full overview of your whole living area,but I understand it being a pain to clean up every time you're about to shoot a video. Thank you for your inspirational videos!!!
