I'll take the happiness thanks. You can keep the joy, let me know when you can share in the rewards of those achievements more robustly and I'll consider sacrificing for it.

You can’t fix or change people who live to work or think the work is full of meaning at the cost of quality of life. Deeply ingrained belief system like religions (and we know what kind of mental autoimmune response occurs when those are challenged). You can only institute guardrails against them.

If achieving great things doesn't mean the American dream of a house with a vegetable garden, a wildflower meadow, and a little patch of grass for kicking a ball around, I'm not interested.
