His insights and strategies, now encapsulated in his award-winning book "Quiet Quit & Fully Live", provide a comprehensive guide to achieving a fulfilling and sustainable professional journey. Hess's work has earned critical acclaim, including the Readers' Favorite 2024 Gold Medal for General Nonfiction, for its practical advice on setting boundaries, enhancing productivity, and fostering personal growth.

Matthew reminds the reader that quiet quitting is not being lazy or failing to fulfill your job description. It sets boundaries for any extra work you might take on. As well as describing the benefits of quiet quitting, Matthew addresses its potential drawbacks. The reader needs to adjust each suggestion in this book to fit their unique needs. Because many people face struggles with stress, Matthew suggests ways to reduce it. I highly recommend this book and wish it had been around when I was younger.
