To Hell with the Hustle

Reclaiming Your Life in an Overworked, Overspent, and Overconnected World

By: Jefferson Bethke

Narrated by: Jefferson Bethke

In a society where hustle is the expectation, busyness is the norm, and constant information is king, we've forgotten the fundamentals that make us human, anchor our lives, and provide meaning. Jefferson Bethke, New York Times bestselling author and popular YouTuber, has lived the hustle and knows we must stop doing and start becoming.

Our culture makes constant demands of us: Do more. Accomplish more. Buy more. Post more. Be more. In following these demands, we have indeed become more: More anxious. More tired. More hurt. More depressed. More frantic.

But it doesn't have to be that way. To Hell with the Hustle is your wake-up call to slow down and reclaim your life in an overworked, overspent, and overconnected world.

If you're feeling overwhelmed with the demands of work, family and community or if you're tired of being anxious, lonely, and burned out, To Hell with the Hustle will give you the tools you need to:

• Proactively set boundaries in your life
• Get comfortable with obscurity
• Find the best way to push back against the demands of contemporary life
• Discover the importance of embracing silence and solitude
• Handle the stressors that life throws at us

Join Bethke as he discovers that the very things the world teaches us to avoid at all costs--silence, obscurity, solitude, and vulnerability--are the very things that can give us the meaning, the peace, and the richness we're truly seeking.

Praise for To Hell with the Hustle:

"Ever feel like you need to work harder, put in more time to get ahead, or do everything in your power to be the best? That's the hustle. It can push you to places you don’t want to go, and I've gone there more than I care to admit. In his latest book, To Hell with the Hustle, Jefferson Bethke will help you understand why the hustle can seem so alluring, show you how to avoid the traps it's created in our culture, and find true joy chasing after Christ instead."

Nice reset

Very much needed for myself and everyone in American/Western society as it seemed mostly geared towards. Slow down, put your phone down, be present in every moment (no really present), be weary of your news media outlets. One of my favorite parts was him talking about people used to get a newspaper and it would be the same news for everyone and now people get different digital newspapers, to each their own, feeding their storylines and building more walls from each other.

Very Thought Provoking

Very researched and thought provoking read! It came out before the pandemic, but so many things brought up in this book were directly addressed through it!

A great perspective on our hurry up lifestyle.

A great perspective on how we are mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually killing ourselves. I think he has some great ideas, and some that are more easily attainable if you are a young family. Regardless, this is a springboard to help identify and creatively attack those areas that are stealing our time, a very precious commodity we can never get back. Jefferson puts words to the things I think many of feel but have a difficult time articulating, especially in regard to how we live with a lack of true community and love for our neighbor.

Spot On!

this book is exactly wanted I needed to hear not just for this season but for every season of life.

Simply Amazing

I love Jefferson Bethke. I’ve read “Jesus>Religion” and “It’s Not What You Think.” I’m perplexed time and time again at how the context of his books are exactly what I need to hear in that particular time in my life. This book was no different. Thank you Jefferson, may God continue to bless you and your family. Please don’t ever stop sharing your story because I know you’ve blessed and will continue to bless many lives, including mine.
