Haha! I don't. It is definitely not an exclusively American phenomenon. Any society where there is pressure to achieve, achieve, achieve and be perfect in every way, you will feel this angst.

I don't think anyone achieves the 'balanced lifestyle', it's more of a thing to work towards. An asymptote, even. Is it even possible to achieve it, though? How much time do you have to dedicate to each of those things? I feel like this is worthy of a back-of-the-envelope calculation but I'm about to go for a walk (I am getting chubby) and see the sun and the sea. That'll hopefully soothe my existential angst for a while.
