If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed or discouraged by what it means to be “productive” in the new world, Productivity Is for Robots provides a road map for unlearning the “hustle and grind dogma” that leads to stress and burnout. Filled with lessons from history’s greatest artists, entrepreneurs, and visionaries, the audiobook weaves together stories to show listeners how to reach new levels of human connection, creativity, and flow.

From Ernest Hemingway to James Cameron, Theodore Roosevelt to Salvador Dali, J.K. Rowling to Steve Martin, the audiobook explores how dozens of creators have produced meaningful work - not by being robotic in work ethic, but by embracing the tools of human nature. With chapters on developing intuition, cultivating self-awareness, and tapping into creative flow, Productivity Is for Robots is a call to reclaim what it means to be human in the new world.

McComb argues that “productivity without purpose is an arrow without a target” and that by ditching the “productivity protocols” in which we’ve been indoctrinated, we can reconnect with what matters, overcome creative blocks, and yes, be more productive than ever.

Whether you’re in a creative rut, burnt out from endless chasing, or trapped in a Groundhog Day of mediocrity, the principles in this audiobook will help you thrive. It’s time to double down on what sets us apart from technology.

It’s time to confirm once and for all: I’m not a robot.

Refreshing

We all need a solid “don’t hustle” “be weird” “be playful” motivation!! Loved it. Listening twice.

Refreshingly simple

It’s short and simple, but packet with useful and actionable insights. Performance can be a bit dull at times, but it went well with the theme of the book. It’s a great reminder to just be human.

Story that we hear in every self-help book

The strange "robotic" style is while being understandable makes the listening difficult and boring. All those facts and good ideas are read as if they are really still realized by a robot, not a human being, author. If narrator's style is fine by you, it's still a good read to substitute the self-help pile of books.

Like a Blog

Catchy title, poorly written book with no meat. I listened to half and decided not to waste any more time waiting to learn something. This feels like a collection of blog posts and is about the quality of blog posts.
