In today’s fast-paced world, “hustle culture” has become a new mantra. Everywhere, there’s talk of working relentlessly, always being “on,” and sacrificing sleep and peace for success. Trends like #HustleHard and #NoDaysOff on social media further promote this. But is this “hustle” always beneficial? Or do we end up paying the price with our mental peace?
At Anyplay.in, we’ve always believed in openly discussing issues that can bring positive changes to the lives of our viewers and listeners. In this series, today we have with us renowned psychiatrist Dr. Arvind Menon, who will share his valuable insights on burnout and finding real balance. Our company, Anyplay.in, which specializes in podcast shoots, video creation, website development, and branding services, is proud to bring this conversation to you.
According to Dr. Menon, “Hustle culture is an environment where continuous work and being overly productive are emphasized, often neglecting personal life and rest. Its initial appeal, especially among the younger generation, comes from the desire for quick success, achieving something big, and the ‘successful’ lives portrayed on social media. People think that if they work more hours, they will reach their goals faster.”
