Work-life balance is a goal that many of you are pursuing and is a selling point for many companies to attract talent. In today's presentation, author Anne-Laure Le Cunff offers a different perspective: where work may have been narrowly defined as physical work, today many people's work is creative work. It can be difficult to separate creative work from life, and instead of always striving for separation, we should try to better integrate the two.
Perhaps this is a very French idea, and I wonder what people think of this?

Excerpt
The concept of work-life balance implies that work is bad and life is good; it suggests that work and life are two dichotomous entities that need to be strictly separated and kept at an equilibrium.
Because, historically, work was a necessary hardship—from latin labor “toil, exertion”—it’s no wonder we see it in a negative light.
If the older definitions of work seemed to deem it a way to sustain the body, many modern forms of work offer an opportunity to sustain the mind.
The alternative is to embrace the chaotic and serendipitous nature of life, to accept that some periods of your life will be filled with work.
Instead of feeling ashamed because you’re currently on a work-life rollercoaster, raise your hands and laugh when you’re at the top of the tracks, and get ready for when the train goes down.
