As someone who considers myself lazy, it baffles me that so many people are encouraging others to do the same. It seems like someone discovers that work-life balance is a thing, and then concludes that everyone else has yet to do the same and that we should all relax more. On a personal level, working less may be beneficial because society has more than enough hard workers to make a difference. However, if everyone loses ambition, the goods are services we all take of granted would get more scarce and we would all be worse off as a result. I'll clarify that I do think post-industrial areas of Asia are actually "burnout societies." In the US, I don't get that sense at all.
