Those are surrogate activities, and according to the article, they are less satisfying than the pursuit of real goals (see last paragraph). The point is that when you have to work for a living, and you are successful at that, that is much more satisfying than being successful at a hobby. That sounds about right to me!

There is a Scottish proverb: Be happy while you are living, for you are a long time dead. That sounds like the exact opposite of what you're saying.
