I agree with you on many things, but your stance on "workaholics" is not one of them. Often "working a lot" = "workaholic". I'm not talking about people that are addicted to work and follow the same patterns of other addictions. That's rarely the case. I'm talking about the people that enjoy working because it isn't like "work". Why should they be made to feel bad about it? The workaholics you speak of (that get burnt out) generally have motivations beyond enjoying the work. They are trying to "get ahead" or make more money. What if you actually like your "work"?
Some people like to knit in their spare time. I like to code and do things that resemble work to many people. Maybe I'm not in the majority, but I refuse to believe that I would be happier or healthier if I went on a hike instead.
