What's the point of living but to be happy? If the work jawngee does is satisfying and enjoyable, wouldn't that make him feel happy and alive? Would you tell Mozart to play less music or DaVinci to drop one of his extra-curriculars? You think his formula wouldn't work for you, but don't forget you're a different person, and he might think that you aren't living because your job isn't inspiring enough to work that hard at. Lay off.
