<p>We live in an age of constant worry and anxiety. A lot of that is the by-product of late stage capitalism, inequity, and constant exhausting crises with a lack of attention to ever fixing root causes. Most of those are external factors though and largely outside of our control as individuals. So let go of those for a minute and let&rsquo;s take a journey inward.</p>

<p>You see Yutori offers us release from the &ldquo;rat-race&rdquo; of modern living: Keeping up with the Joneses, jockeying for rank and promotions, and seeking validation from other flawed people. The Japanese people have long dealt with problems of overworking even to the point of death! They call it Karoshi in these extreme cases and it should be obvious why everyone wants to avoid that. Work related stress drove too many people to suicide or to have other life threating health conditions.</p>
