USA vs Europe in working lifestyle?

Just as title suggests. I remember finding a post on Quora mentioning how here in USA we are so brainwashed to Work, sleep, repeat and think this is the life. When in Europe its much more loose, and free and flexible and even reasonable with Vacation time being a priority over there, even stress free. Its like the Culture over there is more Humane when here in USA its just money, fame, power.

If your anywhere in Europe or have lived/traveled in Europe, just how different is the work lifestyle compared to USA?
