I am also very happy your choice has worked for you and you are happy.

Obviously it’s horses for courses.

That being said, would you take an extra paid week of leave if offered? What about two or three? Would you be happier? What if you had 20 weeks of paid leave? Would you be happier?

I think the very vast majority of people would work less if they could.

But you also said "the choice is there". So which is it? If you think they can, and you also think they would do it if they could, then why do you think they don't?
