It will provide the perspective you need to awaken the life you want to live." -Greg Voisen, bestselling author of, Hacking The Gap and host of the Inside Personal Growth Podcast "In a world where hustle mentality is celebrated and the focus is always on output, Corey reminds us to slow down, lean into our humanity and do what's worth doing." -Ava Johanna, host of the Alchemized Life Podcast "As a business owner who knows how easy it is to fall into burnout, this book was a refreshing reminder on what it means to be human. Filled with practical advice and inspiring stories, I was hooked from page one." -Edward Kato, founder of Martini UX From the Author It was two years ago when I turned a slow-paced marathon toward mental and emotional burnout into a full blown sprint. Luckily, I had devoured plenty of productivity protocols and work/life balance hacks. I was well versed in the proverbs of "millionaire mindsets" and knew how important it was to hustle now so I could relax later. But as ripples of overwhelm became tidal waves of stress, I broke down. I lost the connection to myself, others, and the bigger picture of what it means to be a human. It wasn't just I had become obsessed with doing more . The problem was that no matter I did, I was driven by an insidious feeling that I was never doing enough. Somewhere along the way, I stopped thinking of productivity as the vehicle and made it the goal. I was competing with robots. And as I peeled my tired eyes away from the mechanical life I created, I realized I wasn't alone... I wrote Productivity Is For Robots because it was the book I needed to read. I researched and internalized lessons from hundreds of artists, entrepreneurs, and visionaries who changed the world--not by being robotic in their work ethic, but by leaning into their human nature. Just as these lessons helped me, I know they can help you. This book is not a rally against productivity. It's a plea to clear the static from your line, hear the call, and do meaningful work. Not through endless hours of hustle and grind, but by embracing the tools and mindsets only humans can access. This book is dedicated to the delicate art--and urgent goal--of staying human. It will serve as a guide to unlearning the productivity dogma that leads to overwhelm and burnout and help you tap into new levels of connection, creativity, and flow. Whether you're in a creative rut, burnt out from endless chasing, or trapped in a Groundhog Day of mediocrity--know that there is another way. If you're running a business, raising a family, or trying to make your mark on the world, the principals in this book will help you thrive. It's time to double down on what sets us apart from technology. It's time to leave the hustle and grind to the machines and remember what it means to be human. It's time to confirm once and for all: I'm not a robot. Thanks for reading and I hope you join me on the journey. -Corey McComb
