The 40-hour week is against human nature

Sam opens with a Dan Vassallo tweet arguing the standard 40-hour, 50-week, 30-40-year career is an artificial lifestyle that even the most skilled, highly paid people refuse to question.

“He said, I'm convinced that working 40 hours a week, 50 weeks per year for 30 to 40 straight years is against our nature. Yet the most skilled, educated, and highly paid people I know tend to be unable to consider any other path that doesn't involve enduring this artificial lifestyle.”
