Why We Glorify Overworking
From Invisible Rules: The Hidden Code of Everyday Life · 0:06:39
Show by Amy Hanlon
In this episode, we explored why long hours and exhaustion are often mistaken for ambition, loyalty, and success. Visible sacrifice can become a status symbol, while workplace expectations and economic pressures make overwork difficult to escape. The deeper lesson is to respect genuine effort without treating suffering as proof of worth, and to measure success by meaningful results and a life that remains possible beyond work.
