Great Audiobook

Sometimes, we all have days when we wake up weak, don’t feel like going to work, etc. I don’t work as a businessman, but I do have clients who come to me stressed and start to yell at me, etc. After hearing the author's story, I tried to dissect the information to see how I plan to improve my daily tasks. I am free to focus on things that matter. So I need to close my eyes and focus on things that matter. I plan to become an entrepreneur, although I have a long way to go to get there. However, with the guidance of this audiobook, I can do anything I put my mind to.

Great read especially for newer entrepreneurs!

I’ve read a lot of business and self development books over the years and this one incorporated a few of the concepts I’ve learned in the past however it also included some new ones as well (like the Eisenhower Matrix and the Success Myth).

Whether you are a new entrepreneur or an experienced one, this one has something for everyone. Definitely 5 stars!

Great Advice, Very Helpful

The title of this book is what first caught my eye—and I’m so glad it did. As an entrepreneur, I often find myself going full speed ahead, chasing goals and pushing through long days. I know I work too much and that my life has felt out of balance. This book offered the reminder (and permission!) I needed to slow down, work smarter, and actually enjoy life. I’m grateful for the practical, actionable tips it provides especially around delegation, systemization, and mindset shifts. The idea of adopting a “hammock mindset” really stuck with me. I am determined to be happier. It helped me see that I don’t have to sacrifice my business to reclaim my time. This audiobook came at the perfect moment and left me feeling more grounded and hopeful.

Work less without losing your purpose

From Hamster Wheel to Hammock offers a thoughtful shift for anyone feeling overwhelmed by nonstop productivity. It asks you to look at what success really means and gives you steps to create a work life that feels more balanced. I liked how it focuses on time as something valuable and not just something to fill. I'm trying to think differently about how I use my day and remind myself that rest is part of the process too. It'll take some getting used to since I'm an overachiever but I'm determined to put the tools to good use and see where it takes me. I'd love to spend more time in a hammock!

Finally breathing again!

I really enjoyed this listen that felt like it was speaking right to me, like they knew how burnt out and stretched thin I’ve been. The advice is super doable, not just fluff. It helped me rethink how I spend my time and reminded me that it’s okay to slow down. I’ve already started making small changes, and honestly, I feel lighter. If you’re tired of feeling like you're always chasing the clock, give this a listen. It’s like a deep breath for your schedule.

Exactly What I Needed to Hear

I wasn’t expecting an audiobook to shift my mindset this much, but wow—this really hit home. I’ve been caught in the nonstop grind for years, and this gave me permission to slow down without feeling guilty. The tips on delegation and time freedom are super doable, and I actually feel motivated to make changes now. Listening to this felt like talking to a calm, smart friend who’s been there. Highly recommend for anyone feeling burnt out.

Get off the Hamster Wheel!

Listening to this was exactly what I needed and felt like a breath of fresh air. The tone is relaxed and real, like getting advice from someone who actually gets how overwhelming life can feel sometimes. It doesn’t try to sell a perfect routine or act like there's one right way to slow down. Instead, it offers small, doable changes that made me feel more in control of my time without the guilt. I finished it feeling comforted, understood, and more hopeful about creating space for rest in my day. Definitely worth a listen if you're tired of the constant rush.
