Does Hustle Culture Drive Creativity?

Last week’s episode of ‘What Happens Next?’ investigated the downsides of hustle culture – the pervasive idea that the only way to earn respect is by using every minute of the day to be productive. This attitude, embraced by LinkedIn influencers and productivity gurus, has far-reaching consequences, affecting us physiologically, psychologically, and even spiritually.

But hustle culture’s not all bad. Some of today’s greatest success stories arose from humanity’s inherent drive to achieve. How can we ensure we’re dedicating our time and energy to the things that matter most? And what can we do to keep burnout at bay?

In today’s episode, host Dr Susan Carland sits down again with Behavioural Psychologist Joshua Wiley, Associate Professor of Management and Accounting Carly Moulang, Philosopher Jakob Hohwy, and comedian and broadcaster Meshel Laurie to take a second look at the daily grind.
