Balance as a myth






To have balance between work and life is one of the most functional ways to make people feel happy or happier. However, researchers argue that "the most helpful categories for us are not work and life. We should not struggle to balance the two. Instead, the best categories are love and loathe."


According to a TIME article " work is not the opposite of life. It is instead a part of life — just as family is, as are friends and community and hobbies. All of these aspects of living have their share of wonderful, uplifting moments and their share of moments that drag us down. The same is true of work, yet when we think of it as an inherent bad in need of a counterweight, we lose sight of the possibility for better. "
