The absence of a work-life balance takes a toll on human health, which I believe should be prioritized over work.

We need to be more like Europe where we are rewarded generously for our work with paid time off and encouraged vacation time. We should be working to support our ability to live a happy and fun life. It is imperative that our lives are more than just working 40 or more hours a week. Read Less

This could be even supported by a broad belief of the society. And even bosses could make use of that and prolong the working hours. We see this happening around the world, especially in East Asia, where people die from overwork or excess stress levels. Read Less
