Is Working Too Much Or Doing Work You Don’t Like Worth It?

I was reflecting on a story recently, from a couple of years ago. I met a man who was walking his dog at the park. He told me that he left corporate life because one day, he passed out while driving on his way to work. His car flipped over and he was pronounced dead on the scene. Paramedics were able to revive him, but doctors advised him that it happened because he was under too much stress, as he was working 70-80 hours a week. I see this time and time again. People who are working too much, too hard, or doing things that they don’t like. So, this poses today’s question. Is it worth it? Why do we do this to ourselves? Do we need more money? Do we have families to provide for? Do we enjoy it?
