“
I would say that workaholism ... is one of the very socially acceptable addictions that we have out there. We’re in a system that’s always about - what’s our GDP? How can we drive economic prosperity? We, as a society, have a lot to gain from people being addicted to their work; a system where people see a lot of self-worth in their work. But, if you are talking to a friend ... who feels really upset that they’ve lost their job or gotten a bad mark, the thing you want to say that is absolutely true is that you are loved and accepted.
