If this is true then there is something wrong with our way of life nowdays. I just do too much work in a place that is all work and no love. I think this has happened to millions of people all over the world. Something is badly wrong and I haven't been happy at work for years. But could this work ethic be actually be backfiring? Germany loses billions of Euroes a year due to stress. And millions of people around the world are addicted to pain killer drugs.Why not just reduce the working week instead to something like 30 to 35 hours as well as having 6 to 8 weeks paid holiday a year. A good family life and social life significantly lowers stress and increase happiness.With all this modern technology we've have we can easily afford it. Greed is not good, not most of us anyway. We don't need bilionares.

Possible link between stress and disease Stress increases the risk of physical or mental illness. The stress-related costs in Germany alone amount to many billions of Euros every year. In recent years, there have been indications that epigenetic processes are involved in the development of various chronic diseases such as cancer or depression.

America's pain killing addiction.
