> The nation with the longest life expectancy is the workaholic Japanese culture so disparaged by the author! There is a huge unbalance between men and women (which traditionnaly don't get the same chances to work in high pressure environments, and are less subjected to karoshi) and as someone else point Okinawa people won't have the same life expectancy as Tokyo area people. This is a factor in the juxtaposition of workaholism and high quality of life in the same country.
