Living La Dolce Vita


In the past, I've written about how Western Europe seems to shut down during July and August (bringing with it a huge influx of summertime butt sweat and forehead sheen). But a new article out by the Wharton School of Business tries to offer some possible explanations to the divergent work and leisure perceptions between Europeans and Americans.

Two interesting statistics:
  • As recently as the 1960s, Europeans worked more than people in the U.S.
  • Today, the U.S. outworks Japan.
Read the Wharton article here.
