“Hustle culture sold us the lie that more effort would lead to more fulfillment. For many, it’s led to the exact opposite. Unstriving profoundly shifted how I relate to the idea of ‘success’ and fulfillment, and it helped me find new ways of being in the world. This marvel of a book will impact not just how you work, but how you live, connect, and show up for what matters most.”
—Jennifer Pastiloff, national bestselling author of On Being Human and Proof of Life

“While Caleb Campbell writes with remarkable vulnerability about his own healing journey, this book is ultimately less about his story than it is an invitation into your own. To read Unstriving is to experience the fragments of your own story being gently gathered.”
—Jonathan Martin, author of How to Survive a Shipwreck and director of the Center for Spiritual Life at DePauw University

“As a recovering overachiever, Caleb Campbell’s Unstriving is a balm. People often get to the top of the ladder and realize it was perched against the wrong wall. Caleb invites us to do away with the ladder, to pause and get centered within ourselves before we take our next steps. Our souls are shouting, and Caleb is teaching us how to listen.”
—Josh Radnor, actor, writer, and musician 

“When you’re no longer able or willing to live your life as a performance, Unstriving is your guide to what comes next. It’s a down-to-earth road map to navigate the wilderness of letting go—in a world that only teaches us to hold on—and ultimately, to find the peace and joy that’s waiting on the other side of losing everything you thought you wanted.”
—Emily McDowell, founder of Em and Friends and coauthor of There Is No Good Card for This
