Work: The Key to Happiness?

Are you happy? If so, you should attribute that happiness to your employment, at least that's what the Daily Mail states. In the news article "America's Bizarre Secret to Happiness: More Work" published in the Daily Mail the following is reported, "a new study on happiness has shown that those who work longer hours in the U.S. are actually happier." This study reveals a correlation between happiness and work within the American population. 


In my opinion, U.S. employees are the happiest when working because of the deceiving ideology behind the oh-so attainable American dream. Employees believe the American dream is that much more accessible with every paycheck received. Many Americans strive to obtain this dream in order to reach self-fulfillment and utter bliss, but they couldn't be any further from the truth.
