About this listen
“Simultaneously hilarious and deadly serious…An extraordinary book.” —Oliver Burkeman, New York Times bestselling author of Four Thousand Weeks • Winner of an Axiom Business Award for Best Business Book on Work-Life Balance • A Must-Read Book for August 2023 by the Next Big Idea Book Club, curated by Malcolm Gladwell, Adam Grant, Susan Cain, and Daniel Pink
For decades, we have been told that being overworked, overcommitted, and overwhelmed is the price to pay for successful lives. That the constant striving, and scrolling, and buying into lifestyles that are marketed to us is a direct path to happiness, when all we seem to get in return is a permanent place on the hamster wheel.
Writer and moviemaker Julio Vincent Gambuto understood this all too well. He was constantly on the go, overloading his calendar and inbox, trying to convince himself that being busy meant being fulfilled. But in the darkest moments of 2020, he was confronted with an uncomfortable truth: life has been on autopilot for a very long time. He was trapped in a never-ending loop, exhausted, lonely, and wildly disconnected from all that truly mattered.
Now, in Please Unsubscribe, Thanks!, Gambuto maps a radical blueprint for “unsubscribing”—a rethinking of our digital habits, the setting of real boundaries, a reevaluation of our social circles, and a reexamination of powerful core ideas that no longer serve us.
Inside, you’ll find:
—100+ practical and tactical strategies for how to be happy in the chaos of our world, and how to unplug and reevaluate life so you can re-design it and live it with more meaning and joy.
—A deep understanding of how modern life got to be so damn relentless thanks to Big Forces like tech, banks, social media, and politics.
—Important opportunities to reflect on where all your time, attention, money and energy really go.
—An eye-opening conversation about work that will change your perspective on work, life, and family.
—and more!
A brilliant, timely, and inspired blend of social science and self-improvement philosophy, Please Unsubscribe, Thanks! will shift your perspective, open your eyes, and help you find the power inside to make real, lasting change.

Critic reviews
"Vince Gambuto’s storytelling and branding skills are part of what makes this audio so much fun to hear. He knows how to weave together compelling stories from his personal experiences, urbane observations, and broadly informed insights. He’s also a good narrator, clear and consistent from start to finish and reasonably earnest in sharing the lessons he’s learned from having various subscriptions and attachments hijack his happiness, especially during the pandemic. His vocal palette is colorful, engaging, and likable—a good vehicle for his stories about life in New York City and his hipster leanings. Full of practical suggestions, his timely message is that eliminating the affiliations and automatic subscriptions that don’t make us happy is a good way to reclaim control of our lives and engage more authentically with the people we love."
