O educador espanhol Jorge Larrosa Bondia, em ensaio nomeado “Notas sobre a experiência e o saber da experiência”3 discute a falta de oportunidades, contemporaneamente, para que as pessoas tenham experiências significativas. Segue um excerto desse ensaio, em que Larrosa Bondia fala sobre a natureza humana e sobre o que seria, efetivamente, uma experiência:
“As palavras determinam nosso pensamento porque não pensamos com pensamentos, mas com palavras, não pensamos a partir de uma suposta genialidade ou inteligência, mas a partir de nossas palavras. E pensar não é somente “raciocinar” ou “calcular” ou “argumentar”, como nos tem sido ensinado algumas vezes, mas é sobretudo dar sentido ao que somos e ao que nos acontece. E isto, o sentido ou o sem-sentido, é algo que tem a ver com as palavras. E, portanto, também tem a ver com as palavras o modo como nos colocamos diante de nós mesmos, diante dos outros e diante do mundo em que vivemos. E o modo como agimos em relação a tudo isso. Todo mundo sabe que Aristóteles definiu o homem como zôon lógon échon. A tradução desta expressão, porém, é muito mais “vivente dotado de palavra” do que “animal dotado de razão” ou “animal racional”. Se há uma tradução que realmente trai, no pior sentido da palavra, é justamente essa de traduzir logos por ratio. E a transformação de zôon, vivente, em animal. O homem é um vivente com palavra. E isto não significa que o homem tenha a palavra ou a linguagem como uma coisa, ou uma faculdade, ou uma ferramenta, mas que o homem é palavra, que o homem é enquanto palavra, que todo humano tem a ver com a palavra, se dá em palavra, está tecido de palavras, que o modo de viver próprio desse vivente, que é o homem, se dá na palavra e como palavra. (BONDIA, 2002, p. 21).

Why do we buy into the 'cult' of overwork?
By Bryan Lufkin, 9th May 2021
Although many of us associate overly ambitious workaholism with the 1980s and the finance industry, the tendency to devote ourselves to work and glamourize long-hours culture remains as pervasive as ever. In fact, it is expanding into more sectors and professions, in slightly different packaging. Overwork isn't a phenomenon exclusive to Silicon Valley or Wall Street. People work long hours all over the world, for many different reasons.
In Japan, a culture of overwork can be traced back to the 1950s, when the government pushed hard for the country to be rebuilt quickly after World War Two. In Arab League countries, burnout is high among medical professionals, possibly because its 22 members are developing nations with overburdened healthcare systems, studies suggest. Reasons for overwork also depend on industry. Some of the earliest researchers on burnout in the 1970s asserted that many people in jobs geared toward helping others, like employees in clinics or crisis-intervention centers, tended to work long hours that led to emotional and physical exhaustion – a trend which is shown up in the pandemic, too. But millions of us overwork because somehow, we think it’s exciting – a status symbol that puts us on the path to success, whether we define that by wealth or an Instagram post that makes it seem like we're living a dream life with a dream job. Romanticization of work seems to be an especially common practice among "knowledge workers" in the middle and upper classes. In 2014, the New Yorker called this devotion to overwork "a cult".
According to Anat Lechner, clinical associate professor of management at New York University. "We glorify the lifestyle, and the lifestyle is: you breathe something, you sleep with something, you wake up and work on it all day long, then you go to sleep. Again, and again and again."
