Unfortunately, even with these long hours, the rate of productivity is not rising as much in the U.S. as it is in these other countries. Workers are asked to do more for less - making their work lives more exhausting and less satisfying. However, working more hours is far from the answer. We believe that the answer is honing a sense of frolic and fun in the workplace. In short, to work like your dog.
Dogs have boundless energy, enthusiasm, and approach their work with joy.
They live in the present moment, not always consumed with the past or worried about the future. Most of all, they have learned how to integrate work and play. We should warn people that taking the dog metaphor too far is probably not such a good idea.
