The idea of reducing workdays and increasing employment opportunities may be a good one for economic stability and improving quality of life.
But Taraz I believes that the bigger challenge is changing the mindset of overconsumption that drives people to work more to spend more.
The overconsumption is a big problem, because it feels so good. We have been told that feeling good now is the most important thing, even if it isn't what is best for our wellbeing. This is why there are obesity epidemics in many countries. In the US, obesity kills 500K people a year.
