The pressure to constantly be productive and achieve has become an aspiration one should aspire. But is this mindset worth the effort? Those claiming it’s toxic argue it creates impossible standards, opening the door for anxiety, burnout, and disconnection. But some argue the problem isn’t productivity itself, but how we’ve come to define success — and the unrealistic expectations that come with it. Now we debate: Is Our Productivity Culture Toxic?

Arguing Yes:

Jennifer Moss, Workplace Culture Expert; Author of "The Burnout Epidemic"

Rahaf Harfoush, Digital Anthropologist and New York Times Best-Selling Author

Arguing No:

David Allen, Creator of the "Getting Things Done" Time Management Method and Author

Amy Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at Harvard Business School

Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates
