I've read several stories that start exactly with what you're doing (quitting job, selling everything, moving...) where the author didn't stick to the plan but gained a lot from the journey anyway and ended up back in the workforce, except they were more productive and happier than before.
I think it takes a certain amount of reflection to reach a mental state where you become the person you want to be. That is crucial to avoid subversion of the self to the corporation. Once you get there, you can have a more symmetric relationship with your employer. Both parties end up better off. It's a shame that society often doesn't have the "speed bumps" which allow people to do this without going through radical ups and downs, but it is harder to change society than it is to change yourself. I hope you get what you need out of your journey.
