In an increasingly fast-paced world, the importance of community often takes a backseat to personal achievements and productivity. According to psychotherapist
Israa Nasir, author of the new book Toxic Productivity: Reclaim Your Time and Emotional Energy in a World That Always Demands More, this shift toward individualism is exacting a heavy toll on our mental health.
Nasir points out that the absence of community leaves many feeling adrift. "People are very alone," she explains. "When we're busy trying to do too much, we disregard our community in service of productivity." She argues this is the root of a vicious cycle: we sacrifice social interaction for work, feel lonelier, and then dive deeper into productivity as a coping mechanism.
