If I'm happy now, I won't push as hard to make a better world. That's what pleasure does. Joy does the exact opposite.

Poorly planned and stressful vacations eliminate the positive benefit of time away. The less the stress, the more likely you will experience a positive benefit from the time off. A positive, well-managed vacation can make you happier and less stressed, and you can return with more energy at work and with more meaning in your life.
