Hustle culture kills happiness. Here’s how to escape it. | Laurie Santos

Hustle culture is part of our DNA - but it’s making us unhappy. Yale psychologist Laurie Santos explains how to escape your inner drill sergeant and find peace in imperfection.

What if our incessant drive for self-improvement isn't always conducive to happiness? Cognitive scientist Laurie Santos proposes this intriguing question. She notes that while evolution has wired us for relentless self-enhancement, our modern environment, ripe with comparisons and demands for excellence, amplifies this instinct, often to our detriment.
The incessant push for "more" and "better" can lead to societal harm, fostering a competitive, individualistic society rather than one rooted in collective harmony and goodwill. Moreover, it can compromise personal happiness. Genuine well-being, Santos suggests, arises from extending compassion towards others and ourselves.
Self-compassion, defined as mindfulness, recognition of common humanity, and self-kindness, can surprisingly enhance performance and resilience without a drill-sergeant approach. Breaking free from the pervasive "hustle culture" requires acknowledging its illusory nature, prioritizing kindness towards oneself, orienting towards others, and practicing gratitude to appreciate one's journey.

One thing I would like to add that I don’t think was very well articulated in this video: In addition to “hustle culture” being a product of natural selection, it is also a product of our economic system. To create a society that feels more fulfilled and happy on a macro-scale, we must reflect on how we can improve our resource and labor management systems.

[@world_musician]

True, but our economic system is just a human-scale version of natural selection. People are inescapably part of nature so our society and culture reflects and recreates long-scale environmental processes into a smaller time frame that we can understand within our short lifespan. Being rich is just being the biggest ape in the pack. We kinda know a little bit about Dopamine and Cortisol now but those two chemicals form the basis of our whole money system.

[@david_kim]

While that is a valid point, I think the message is more for people who aren’t necessarily on the bones of their arse and are just trying to achieve more and more despite there not really being a need for that. In a roundabout way, perhaps if everyone was more content with what they already have, there would be more to go around

[@seansayer7684]

Well said. Yet another video that perceives the cause of the problem being the system yet still thinks we can change while within the system. The system is what needs to change but very few of us can see or want to see that such a radical change is the answer. We need to leave behind our modern high technology, money driven materialist capitalist system in order to reconnect with ourselves, each other and nature.

[@seansayer7684]

I took what was helpful to me out of the video, but where I deepened my understanding of points in the video was reading the comments. I read all the comments and replies to comments. Wow! It’s refreshing and beautiful to see the brilliant points and perspectives people have. I learned more from comments and replies than from the video itself. That’s a properly functioning society. Thank you.

[@pif5023]

This video started nice but it turned out to be a way to shift the blame out of companies. Essentially it is saying that it’s not that you are asked too much, it’s you that want too much. It denies that good enough is not really enough today, either you make it big or you struggle. That is why millennial and anyone who came after are hustlers, it’s a survival response. You would be struggling anyway to survive.

[@adoptic6342]

Your could've just said that you misunderstood the video

[@k1batman]

Exactly

[@TheBiomuse]

There's something unintentionally hilarious - and dark - encoded in Prof. Santos' presentation here. She keeps referring to the negative aspects of performance culture and then noting that one way to take effective countermeasures is to realize that self-kindness actually helps you to "perform better." The answer, in other words, to a system that demands performance above any other value or characteristic is to love yourself and others, so that you perform better. The background premise of hustle culture remains unrebutted, untouched and sovreign. This is an ouroboros, a recursive null, not an answer. Without discussion of the ends and purposes of life it will remain that way.

[@animamagna3077]

Absolutely.

[@pif5023]

Yeah, it’s a way to shift blame on the worker like usual. It’s not you are being asked too much, it’s your fault you want more. This idealistic video never touch upon concrete data. What is the desired outcome of this hustle culture? Would people be hustling that much if they were paid fairly and didn’t have economic anxiety? These question are not even pondered, it’s just your fault that you are spoiled and want too much.

[@zhara9741]

I found it helpful. The basis is try to minimize constant comparison, don’t be completely self-centered, give back to others, and be easier on yourself. I believe she is talking about destructive self criticism that leads obsession over what you aren’t doing well, which in turn makes you more exhausted. It is like extra work, you perform the task, then you ruminate over how you could have done it better. But, that is my take.

[@Philosific]

@@pif5023no they are pondered, you just lack perspective. Cause if thats they case, that would then mean people in 3rd world countries should be working longer hours… they don’t. The fact is people would. Why? Because of keeping up with “the jones”. Americas hustle culture also stem from its consumerist culture and the constant need for more. The largest and worse payers in America are public companies. Who own public companies? Everyday Americans. No large shareholder owns more than 20% of the biggest payers. Lower pays prop up the market by keeping corporate profits higher, which is owned by the people.

[@thedog5k]

That comment was overwritten but I have preached the same sentiment for a long time. I was friends with some kid, an economics major of course… I was complaining about corporations and how shitty our future lives look given they will likely be filled with shitty labor. He told me I should go to tech because they treat their workers better. Without getting into ALL the details of why that’s a bad idea, I told him, there is no way they do that ojt of the kindness of their heart. He said something along the lines of “ yea, but at the end of the day it’s the same thing right?” NOPE, NOT AT ALL They don’t care about you. When your well being gets in the way of profit, get fucked!

[@simonlinser8286]

Everybody is a hustler now. Proud of the fact that they can't live from one job, which was the whole point. What's the point of having a job and caring about it and doing good and being on time and struggling and suffering when you realize you can't even pay your bills and you work full time. People make each other work harder by being competitive and saying things like someone is just lazy or not motivated or get on the ball keep your head in the game hustle hustle. It is true. Work is good Money is nice to have. But it's not worth it to work full time and more and you have to ignorant of truth to do it instead of questioning it. Just remember who hates unions, who hates fair pay for labor, who hates workers rights, who wants people to be on welfare. Who doesn't mind if you're homeless, as long as you show up to work everyday and don't smell bad and aren't drunk. Corporations and their little peon servant middle management spineless pushovers. That's who hates those things. Welfare is a bad thing, unless it's corporate welfare and bailouts. Screw that! Think for yourself. Hustle for nature and the soil.

[@rikmichaels9233]

Shouldn’t be proud we’re forced to over work just to make it because our elders and their leaders were so greedy, never even cared about the long term outcomes of their decisions

[@camillapalmer82]

Amen to that.

[@franceshorton918]

Simonlinser, totally agree with you and your analysis. It's the same oppression in any first world modern economy. Greetings from Auckland New Zealand 🇳🇿 We are a small country, a small economy and a small population. We used to be a sensible liberal democracy, before the 1980s. Forty years on, after Neoliberalism, Globalisation, and several economic earthquakes, we're hardly on par with any small European nation. I'm beyond disgusted by our weak and foolish politicians.

[@bumbleeistheequeen4052]

I’m realizing that more and more now as a college student. I was one of those who were convinced that this degree would be my golden ticket to an incredible life, like so many others. College of course is challenging as it’s supposed to be but I have to remember not to push myself too hard. I believe there’s a difference between striving for something and hustling for something. IMO, hustling drains you but striving is more of an understanding that everything happens in due time. Many of my older relatives have told me to be careful what kind of jobs I take because it can take both a mental and physical toll on you. You can push yourself so much that you push into a breaking point.

[@littup7322]

We choose to hustle to meet that standard, mainly to keep up with others.. having a community that looks out for each other is more valuable than just having money & working hard.. but not creating a value within yourself that others can benefit from is very selfish, because we all benefit from the things that someone else created

[@gi99hf60]

I appreciate all the thought you’ve put into this. I’m glad someone at the peak of elitism is being brave by discussing these issues. I do however disagree with point number 2. I found those points to not resonate well, and follow the rhythm of typical advice you hear within these communities of hustle culture, of which Yale is a hub. Yale is but one source of high divergence of such culture but it is now widespread in the US. We know the reason people are feeling bad (here point number 2) is overwhelmingly due to living in an individualistic society. I’m a PhD student in physics in the US. I come from a third world country where people can’t do much to influence their external conditions. An upside of this is that the community grows closer together, and people are loved for who they are. One exception are the elites, but those are shallow collaborators and their criticism is but the same criticism of western elites, save delayed by about 20 years or so. When one reflects, they emit outwards and contemplate what they receive. Look outwards if your goal is to treat a disease.

[@TruthPapi]

The most relaxing video I’ve seen in a while…. 😀

[@micromatters]

While the video mentioned these internal changes, we need to also look at these external changes the can address capitalism's role in fostering hustle culture: Internal Changes: 1. Embrace Your Inner Sloth: prioritize downtime, folks. Your Netflix queue misses you... 2. Practice self-compassion: accept that you're a beautiful, hot mess like the rest of us; it's okay. 3. Eat the spice of life: gratitude. Start counting blessings, not calories. 4. Others Before Self(ies): switch your focus from the 'me' to the 'we.' Trust me, the world doesn't revolve around your Instagram feed. External Changes: 1. Unions: The Phoenix Uprising: they're not just a memory from your history textbooks. They're the secret ingredient in our recipe for workplace equality. 2. Workplace Democracy: let's reimagine corporations as co-ops. After all, a little bit of power-sharing never hurt anyone...except maybe the 1%... 3. Rethink Compensation: imagine if the salary of the highest-paid person had a bungee cord attached to the lowest-paid person. Now, that's a financial tether that screams 'we're in this together!' 4. Sustainable Capitalism: because there is no point in climbing the corporate ladder if it's just leaning against a rapidly deteriorating planet

Americans have an interesting outlook towards life, as someone who was born in the east, it's funny watching American TV shows and realising how much American people's happiness depends on buying one thing then the next. It's like an addiction of cocaine.

[@ananya.a04]

I agree with you. I am from the East as well, from a developing country as well. I immigrated for education, not for better standards of living, which is already a novelty to almost everyone around me. This materialism of the West is infectious, it even affects people who aren’t born here. Success in life here isn’t being able to live under a roof and enjoy the more simple things in life. It’s about being able to get the next big house, or the next big car, or the next big party, or the next big party. I feel so disillusioned and discouraged when I see the conditions in which the working class live here. Looking back, I feel stupid about my teenage naïveté that had me convinced that life here was better than back in my home. It’s like El Dorado: people are tripping over themselves and using all sorts of crooked means to get there, and if by some miracle they don’t die they see the golden prison for what it truly is - a prison. This is just my experience however, and there can be people who enjoy living here. At the end of the day, it depends on the individual what they make of their situation.

Huge egos and judgemental attitudes are a huge turn off. Granted this could all be my own insecurities and coping because I'm not as successful as I know I should be but I'm stuck. Its good to just be ok with where you are in life right now and not force anything. Isn't that the goal of meditation?

[@moemoney7773]

People do those things on a daily basis and still are not happy, but the things that motivate you will not be the thing that you really wanted to do at first, but in the long run, after climbing that mountain of false pride, and the search for happiness cease, and you start to search for joy...which may take an even longer time, but if you continue to look, your motivation will find you to do what you really wanted to do before you forced yourself down this other pathway. We veer away from things that make us feel mundane, and act as if the whole time we had plans to be this confused, leading anyone that follows the same notions to that same conclusion which is.......... Everyone Can't Be Happy.

[@david85743]

Performance is not the same as Hustle. Please dont make the same mistake as other commentators and substitute these words. You can hustle, work long hours and be unhappy while not performing well. You can perfom well while working few hours and being happy. So people can work 6 hours and get more done than people (or hustlers) that work 12 hours.

Part of this video seems like a very roundabout way to reiterate the age-old saying "work smarter, not harder"... suggesting that you can use less time to deliver sufficient value to your employer to remain employed, and as a result retain healthy amounts of time to devote to your own wellbeing. Seems academically/theoretically a noble sentiment, but in practice not an option for everyone. As for countering or diminishing "hustle culture", like many others here I'm skeptical. If a job is acceptable to more than one person, there exists competition for it and assuming people who would fill the role know about it, then the one who "hustles" will get it. HOW you hustle is more important a discussion than WHETHER to hustle. "Hustle culture is a workplace environment that focuses on productivity, ambition, and success without regard for rest, self-care, or work-life balance." So if we focus on the "without regard for" portion, we can do better... but if we are against the first part of hustle culture, then good luck changing a fundamental component of life.
