Thank you for your support and encouragement, and thank you for the great work you are doing as well. I love the Facebook page and I think you are correct. We are getting to the point in business and in our lives where our obsessive focus on short-term "results" is wringing the much-needed space for innovation, creativity and humanity out of the system. Renee,

PS I can't help but wonder if American company's views on the work/life issue aren't driven in part by our cultural bias towards "output above all else." I just shared some thoughts on this topic on Live Inside Out where we've been dialoguing about our to-do list obsessed culture: http://www.facebook.com/pages/LIVE-INSIDE-OUT/84557416132 Cali–I applaud you for your courage to speak from your experience and to not just “go along” but be willing to challenge accepted beliefs around this crucial business/life issue.
