I mean what a non article. It essentially boils down to “more autonomy, education and work life balance”.

Yes. We know.

I can’t speak for anyone else but what improved my mental health was recognising my distraction techniques for what they were, and addressing the root cause of those (e.g drinking in evenings to numb how utterly pointless this existence sometimes can feel; and solving it by learning to do stuff with my hands — in this case carpentry)

I doubt you’ll gleam much wisdom from such an article. Maybe do some meditation, cut down on the booze and find something unrelated to work that makes you happy and just accept that work occasionally sucks for everyone..

Anyway, ymmv
