I guess this article isn't for me, since I have no problem with working hard. I enjoy it, and derive meaning from doing good work.
In "Man's Search for Meaning", Viktor Frankl identifies three areas of focus to find meaning in life: doing good work, loving someone unconditionally, and the experience of suffering.
I've never had any trauma remotely like living through the holocaust, so I can't really related to Frankl's journey, but those three things have always have resonated with me as source of true meaning in life. When I meet other people who really seem to be profoundly happy with their life journey, they always have derived that from: doing great work, loving someone deeply, or experiencing true suffering.
