This is an interesting point from Adrian Edmondson, and one that probably resonates with a lot of people.
He’s essentially questioning the modern obsession with “working hard” and constantly praising “hard-working families,” suggesting that it’s an outdated mindset. Edmondson argues that we now live in a world where technology and machines can take on much of the heavy lifting, so life shouldn’t just be about grinding away until retirement.
Instead, he’s saying people should be aiming for more balanced, diverse and fulfilling lives — spending more time enjoying life, being creative, and doing things that actually make them happy, rather than defining success purely through hard work.
