　　Section B

　　Resilience Is About How You recharge， Not How You Endure

　　[A] As constant travelers and parents of a 2-year-old， we sometimes fantasize about how much work we can do when one of us gets on a plane， undistracted by phones， friends， or movies. We race to get all our ground work done： packing， going through security， doing a last-minute work call， calling each other， then boarding the plane. Then， when we try to have that amazing work session in flight， we get nothing done. Even worse， after refreshing our email or reading the same studies over and over， we are too exhausted when we land to soldier on with(继续处理) the emails that have inevitably still piled up.

　　[B] Why should flying deplete us？ We‘re just sitting there doing nothing. Why can’t we be tougher - more resilient（有复原力的） and determined in our work so we can accomplish all of the goals we set for ourselves？Based on our current research， we have come to realize that the problem is not our hectic schedule or the plane travel itself； the problem comes from a misunderstanding of what it means to be resilient， and the resulting impact of overworking.

　　[C] We often take a militaristic， “tough” approach to resilience and determination like a Marine pulling himself through the mud， a boxer going one more round， or a football player picking himself up off the ground for one more play. We believe that longer we tough it out， the tougher we are， and therefore the more successful we will be. However， this entire conception is scientifically inaccurate.

　　[D] The very lack of a recovery period is dramatically holding back our collective ability to be resilient and successful. Research has found that there is a direct correlation between lack of recovery and increased incidence of health and safety problems. And lack of recovery - whether by disrupting sleep with thoughts of work or having continuous cognitive arousal by watching our phones - is costing our companies $62 billion a year in lost productivity.

　　[E] And just because work stops， it doesn‘t mean we are recovering. We “stop” work sometimes at 5PM， but then we spend the night wrestling with solutions to work problems， talking about our work over dinner， and falling asleep thinking about how much work we’ll do tomorrow. In a study just released， researchers from Norway found that 7.8% of Norwegians have become workaholics(工作狂). The scientists cite a definition of “workaholism” as “being overly concerned about work， driven by an uncontrollable work motivation， and investing so much time and effort to work that it impairs other important life areas.”

　　[F] We believe that the number of people who fit that definition includes the majority of American workers， including those who read HBR， which prompted us to begin a study of workaholism in the U.S. Our study will use a large corporate dataset from a major medical company to examine how technology extends our working hours and thus interferes with necessary cognitive recovery， resulting in huge health care costs and turnover costs for employers.
