When was the last time you took a vacation? Not just a day trip, but an extended period of time in which you didn’t check emails or think about work – weeks, months, years? Prince Ea opens the video with the alarming statistic that 50% of Americans chose not to take use their annual leave in full. Through a mix of spoken word and rap, Price Ea encourages viewers to step away from their jobs and put the focus on taking pleasure in their actual lives. He advocates for people to be present in the here and now, emphasizing the importance of investing more in personal relationships and less in computer screens. This video touches on the tenets of mindfulness, digital detox and work-life balance, serving as an urgent reminder to take the whole vacation, and soak up all of life’s beautiful moments.
