A PERSONAL INVITATION FROM
MILENA MITEVA-REGOS
Dear Potential Advanced Reader,
In a world that glorifies burnout as the price of success, I've spent the past decade developing a radical alternative and five years working on the book.
UNHUSTLE: A MANIFESTO isn't just another self-help book about work-life balance. It's a powerful, timely manuscript that offers a deeply considered alternative to our culture's obsession with productivity and achievement at all costs. It's a complete reimagining of success, work, and fulfillment—one that I've lived, tested, and refined through the years. The book effectively blends personal narrative, scientific research, philosophical wisdom, and practical guidance into a compelling manifesto that has the potential to create significant impact in readers' lives.
(It took lots of reflections, beach walks, watching the light change, Mandatory Hammock Time, meditations, frustrations, and recalibrations, and now I'm super excited to release it to the world.)
Now, I'm seeking a small group of thoughtful, engaged readers to experience this work before its official release and provide valuable feedback that will help shape its final form.

FROM THE PAGES OF UNHUSTLE
"October 31, 2013 - Toronto, Canada
6am. I stare at my reflection in the hotel mirror. A pale ghost of success stares back at me. My fingers trace the dark circles under my eyes as the morning news brakes the silence with another "inspiring" success story. Madonna's health club opening. I've been working with her team for months, putting in one 18-hour day after another, and dedicating my entire team to the project.
Last night, I wrote in my journal:
'I want to feel whole. Instead, I'm riddled with holes. I feel drained by the all-consuming "shoulds" and "have-tos." There's external pressure, but also internal hustle. That constant nagging voice to do more. Keep going. Sleep when I'm dead. Instead of the freedom I so desperately wanted when I started my business, I've turned into a cog in the machine. My own worst boss. A slave to a job I created. I'm exhausted. I wonder what would happen if I slowed down, just a little bit.'
This book captures my decade-long journey from that breaking point to creating a revolutionary framework for success built on alignment, not exhaustion.
