This is a US culture thing, and Americans tend to disagree a lot with this (because nobody is aware of their own culture, it's just "how things are"), but US culture really puts work very high in the list of life priorities.
It's the Protestant work ethic, and I see so many people being oppressed by it without even realizing it. Everyone must be as productive as possible at all times, and they must do great at work, and they must sleep under their desks, and if they aren't a good worker they are nothing.
I much prefer to work four days a week, six hours a day, and enjoy my modest life with my friends and family.
