"A lot of people agree with her. Nearly 60 percent of those reporting a
lot of stress say they find relief from routinely spending time with
family or friends."

The article deals with why and how Americans are overstressed. It's a naive and "quick" conclusion for me to say, but I believe American society and American people are suffering from a LARGE amount of social ills. I do not think we give enough attention to " routinely spending time with family or friends." We've forgotten the importance of slowing down and human connection, human community.
I think being a member of the "always busy all the time" culture is sick, and not a good thing for your health. I think if we invested more time in our communities, America would begin to heal A LOT of its social ills: ie: stress, violence - particularly gun violence-, bullying, over-eating/under-eating, homelessness, mental health support.
BUT mostly, this article just reaffirms it is WRONG that every country doesn't have vacation time like FRANCE DOES.
