WHY WORK ?

o me, one of the sad truths about the world today is that most people look upon work as something to escape from. To them, this major part of life is a necessary evil, even an obstacle to the life they dream about. Want proof? Many Americans are disengaged at their work. The 4-Hour Workweek is one of the top-selling books of the last decade. People are beginning to define early retirement as their dream. Given the option between “work a long time at a fulfilling job” or “retire early,” only 34% of Americans would choose to work a long time at a fulfilling job. At least half of the U.S. workforce is quiet quitting.
