I believe productivity and work are essential to human happiness. However, I also think we need to dial it back a bit. What's the point of all this work work work, if you never have the chance to balance it with creative pursuits and other enjoyable activities? Likewise, without work, my other activities are not as enjoyable. Balance is key for me, but our culture seems to favor more work and more stress. Hopefully that can change to something more tenable for more people.
