Some people want to work more because their job is tied to a mission that they value. Imagine if you worked at a homeless shelter helping people get back on their feet. That's deeply important work. Why would want to limit that to only 40 hours a week? Did Jesus work 40 hours a week?

When there is a weird idea we have, it’s great to have the option cranking at it until it cracks. American culture elevated workaholics to iconography in the post-War era, which produced a predictable backlash. That doesn’t mean every instance of hard work is abuse or addiction.
