Book description
March 15th
Dear Diary,
Just finished listening to Ruchika T. Malhotra's "Uncompete" and I'm still processing how profoundly it shifted my perspective. As someone who's spent years buying into the hustle culture narrative, this audiobook felt like a gentle but firm intervention from a wise friend.
Malhotra's voice, both literally and figuratively, carries this compelling authority that comes from real experience. She doesn't just theorize about the toxicity of competition - she walks you through her work with corporations, sharing these illuminating conversations with leaders who've witnessed firsthand how the competition myth crumbles under scrutiny.
What struck me most was her exploration of how competition breeds this insidious scarcity mindset. Listening to her dissect how envy poisons our relationships and drains our creativity felt like watching someone peel back layers I didn't even know I was wearing. Her framework for cultivating what she calls "benign envy" - learning to genuinely celebrate others' wins - honestly brought me to tears during chapter seven.
The research she weaves throughout isn't overwhelming, but it lands with this quiet certainty that makes you question every motivational podcast you've ever consumed. Her discussion of cultural norms around success feels particularly urgent for our moment.
This isn't just another business self-help book dressed up as revolution. It's a genuine reset button for anyone exhausted by the endless race that leaves us all gasping and alone.
Love,
Someone who's finally learning to breathe
