This week on All the Feelings: Sins & Virtues, Tommy and Pete tackle the weighty topic of diligence. It all starts with a seemingly simple question: what does it mean to work hard? But as the duo delves into the nuances of global work cultures, things take a philosophical turn.

From the “Huguo Shenshan” spirit of Taiwan’s tech industry to the “karoshi” phenomenon in Japan, Tommy and Pete explore how diligence can be both a source of national pride and a potential path to burnout. They ponder the meaning of a “good day’s work” in a world where some find fulfillment in building tangible things, while others navigate the abstract world of finance.

You might just find yourself questioning your own relationship with diligence – and maybe even yearning for a siesta.
