AI CEOs dismiss 38-hour work week for success

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Several prominent business leaders, including Andrew Feldman of Cerebras and Kevin O'Leary, argue that achieving significant success, particularly in launching groundbreaking products or startups, requires an intense work schedule far beyond a standard 38-hour week. They contend that the notion of achieving greatness with a work-life balance is unrealistic for those aiming for the highest levels of business achievement. While acknowledging that happiness is possible with a 40-hour week, these leaders emphasize that building something extraordinary demands nearly constant dedication and effort, with some suggesting a "sweet spot" of around 60 hours for peak productivity.
