It does work over there. They've done studies in Japan, which is the opposite of the Nordic countries, and it has shown that Japanese people tend to be extremely stressed out because they're working around 16 hours a day. Marriages just crumble and many people are dropping dead at younger ages due to heart attacks brought on by stress.

It's not a surprise to see any of that. Most of the people I've met that work crazy long hours tend to be extremely stressed and not happy in life.
