Philosophy Is The Antidote Of The Hustle Culture Poison

Social media and self-help books make the hustle culture look easy. They use the dopamine of positivity to make you think you can carry on non-stop without thinking. But our vision often doesn’t align with the result.

The self-helps keep rubbing your face about how working hard can help you get the rich level of Steve Jobs or Jeff Bezos, but they don't tell that they only got super-rich in their 40s-50s. They did work hard and smart, but they had many failures and obstacles to overcome.

Self-helps are often repetitive copy-paste works from other books, but self-help can't copy-paste philosophy. Philosophy questions the subject to get a clearer answer instead of just touching the surface. They question the what, when, where, who, why, and how.

Philosophy can save you from accepting blindly what people might call "great" or "you need to buy this". It can save you from blind preaching too.
