I was just wondering if America is the only country where people are this obsessed with being productive all the time. Like are there any other countries that do this or is America unique for it? Like having the constant pressure to be “doing something” – picking up overtime, doing a side hustle, starting a business, taking college courses, etc. The intense guilt that comes with rest, to the point where rest is impossible to get because the guilt drains you. The constant bragging about “oh look at me I've worked so hard I haven't had time to eat or sleep in days.” This isn't healthy, I feel like it's the cause of a lot of America's problems, and I feel like it's unique to America.
