Two weeks ago at SXSW in Austin, I reconnected with previsous guest, Israa Nasir, therapist, clinical strategist, and author of "Toxic Productivity,” During our short conversation Israa explains the mindset that compels us to chase relentless achievement, often as a means to cope with challenging emotions such as guilt, shame, and feeling left behind.Israa shares her personal journey and why she wrote her book. She looks at how society's views on productivity impact our work, relationships, parenting, and self-image. We also discuss the emotional side of productivity advice. It is important to recognize our core values to achieve healthy productivity.We also cover the impact of AI on the future of work, mental health, and leadership. Israa highlights both the risks and opportunities that AI presents, stressing the need for thoughtful guardrails and intentional use to enhance, rather than diminish, human value and connection.Whether you're grappling with burnout, feeling pressured to constantly perform, or curious about navigating productivity in the age of AI, this conversation offers thoughtful insights and practical advice.
