This is such a paternalistic view of people and what they want out of life. Yes, overwork is often an issue. And it is often indicative of underlying problems. But there are lots of people who want to work more than 40 hours/week. We are created by DNA. Part of that legacy is competing with other organisms for limited resources. I work a lot. Because there are things I want which can only be obtained with money. And the price of some of those things is determined by what other people will pay.
