Work and happiness
"If
your work won’t make you or anyone else happier, why do more of it than you
have to? Believers in the gospel of work typically consider happiness
irrelevant. Deep down, they think we have a duty to be miserable."
Christopher
Clausen, “Against Work,” Am. Scholar, v. 73, n. 4, Autumn 2004, at 133, 137.
