Has hustle culture been lying to you?

For many years Amil Niazi burned with professional ambition, she reached for it every day and was determined to find success. But even in moments of external success, she began to fall out of love with the corporate rat race. She began looking inward, and began to question if she would ever find fulfillment in the world of promotions and job titles. This is the journey she reflects on in her new book Life After Ambition. Plus, musician Sarah Kae shares what she’s been reading.

Books discussed on this week's show include:

How to Do Nothing by Jenny Odell

Daughter by Claudia Dey

A Ballet of Lepers by Leonard Cohen
