In our rapidly changing world, it might make you feel crazy to look around and see others going about life as usual. There’s actually a term for this phenomenon: hypernormalization. In this episode, Adam talks with Rahaf Harfoush, a digital anthropologist and expert on toxic productivity culture, about the immense pressures of living through “unprecedented times.” Rahaf breaks down the concept of hypernormalization, and Adam explains why it can fuel feelings of destabilization and disconnection. The two challenge the propaganda that promotes productivity for its own sake and explore healthier ways to get things done.Host & GuestAdam Grant (Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/adamgrant/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@adamgrant</a> | LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/adammgrant" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@adammgrant</a> | Website: <a href="https://adamgrant.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://adamgrant.net/</a>)Rahaf Harfoush (Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/foushy/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@foushy</a> | Website: <a href="https://rahafharfoush.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://rahafharfoush.com/</a>)&nbsp;LinksNewsletter: <a href="https://rahaf.kit.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://rahaf.kit.com/</a>Follow TED!&nbsp;X:<a href="https://www.twitter.com/TEDTalks" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.twitter.com/TEDTalks</a>Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/ted" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.instagram.com/ted</a>Facebook:<a href="https://facebook.com/TED" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://facebook.com/TED</a>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/ted-conferences" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.linkedin.com/company/ted-conferences</a>TikTok:<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tedtoks%C2%A0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.tiktok.com/@tedtoks&nbsp;</a>Podcasts:<a href="https://www.ted.com/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.ted.com/podcasts</a>For the full text transcript, visit <a href="https://www.ted.com/podcasts/worklife/worklife-with-adam-grant-transcripts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ted.com/podcasts/worklife/worklife-with-adam-grant-transcripts</a><hr> Hosted on Acast.
