II. Text introduction In this text, the author tells us different attitudes about leisure and work, and analyzes the cause underlying the American attitude towards work.

I. Cultural background Al Gini, a philosopher and radio commentator, notes that when responding to the question “How are you?” people usually respond with some form of “I am so busy!” This signals a distressing trend — we are so harried and hurried that we have no time for the things that truly matter and must be done slowly, such as sex, conversation, taking a leisurely stroll in nature, listening to what someone else is saying, relaxing at a concert, or just doing nothing. The world of multitasking and hyperactivity exhausts us and leaves us feeling listless. Our lives are enriched by true leisure that feeds the soul. But contemporary Americans are missing the boat. They work 350 hours more per year than Europeans and 70 hours more than the Japanese. One in four Americans does not take a vacation at all. Joe Robinson, former editor of a travel magazine, has stated, “We’re the most vacation-starved country in the industrial world.” And let’s not forget that many people stay connected with the office and the daily financial news even while they are on vacation!
