Patrick, I agree with you that life is more than just "productivity" at work. I am from Eastern culture. There is a great deal of emphasis on work-life balance in east and that is absolutely essential for the growth of a healthy family as one might argue as productivity at work is for our own professional growth. I'd love to have you visit my blog and comment if you get time. http://www.successsoul.com/blog/ Thanks Shilpan
