It's hard to focus on ourselves sometimes, when we have work to place our attention on. If you have ever been to Europe or met a European, you know their attitude about the work/life balance is a bit different. This article indicates that Europeans are smarter than us! I kid. They simply prioritize things a bit differently.
The good news is that statistics show Americans have a good handle on the reality of a work/life balance. We have to work to make the money we need to survive. Regardless of how many hours we work, we are typically able to maintain the same level of happiness. Life isn't perfect, but even if it were, and we won the lottery, we'd still have issues. Instead, work to live, don't live to work.
