Summary

This is your wake-up call to resist the Hustle culture and embrace the slowness of Jesus.

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.

What we are doing isn't working!

In a society where hustle is the expectation, busyness is the norm and information is king, we have forgotten the fundamentals that make us human, anchor our lives, and provide meaning.

Jefferson Bethke, New York Times best-selling author and popular YouTuber, has lived the hustle and knows we need to stop doing and start becoming.

After listening to this book, you will discover:

  • How to proactively set boundaries in your life
  • How to get comfortable with obscurity
  • The best way to push back against the demands of contemporary life
  • The importance of embracing silence and solitude
  • How to handle the stressors that life throws at us

To Hell With the Hustle is for anyone who is:

  • Feeling overwhelmed with the demands of work, family and community
  • Wanting to connect and spend time with their family
  • Tired of being anxious, lonely, and burned out

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, and the richness we are truly looking for.

Very helpful

I liked the main point very much. I do agree that the lifestyle we live at the moment is killing us. For me there was too much about Jesus and his frantic style of narration did make it hard to listen- just made me really anxious and felt so rushed and even upset. However, the underlying idea is great and we could all benefit from this.

Oh man, what a book!! Jeff so clearly and engagingly breaks down the cultural and global influence of hustle mentality, drive for worldly success and "becoming" and how it lives so counter to the way of Jesus' hope for us. To live out of a place of true rest, in abundance of His success on the cross and in the knowledge of our identity in Him and the price He paid so we didn't need to bow to the pressure to "become" anything.

Truly this book is amazing.

So Timely!

This has been the perfect book for this period in my life. With the need and want to slow down and remove distractions, this was an insightful book that gave me life and knowledge in why we hustle and the importance of removing the hustle.

Loved that there was extra content in the audiobook compared to the book. You feel that Jefferson is speaking right to you rather than just reading.

Would highly recommend this audiobook!
