I agree, but would note that high art and self-actualization are also mostly work. And, in fact, there are lots and lots of Haters' Handbooks for high art and self-actualization as well. To pick an example at random: I am given to understand that one of the routine tortures of classical musicians is to play Pachelbel's Canon, a thoroughly tedious earworm that is requested at nearly every chamber-music gig. One of my friends in college ran a classical music radio program called Anything but Pachelbel. And there's a very fun section of Robert Greenberg's lectures, How to Listen to and Understand Great Music, which could easily be retitled The Pachelbel Haters' Handbook. And one could definitely write The Science Haters' Handbook. The author of Piled Higher and Deeper is doing a marvelous job.
