I don't think it's necessarily selfish to want to separate your life and your work, but I do disagree that it's necessary. Whenever I see anyone earnestly giving the advice that you absolutely must do this in order to be happy, I just tend to think that's a person who hasn't happened to find the job that really lights their fuse. And that's fine, but these people need to stop telling those of us who have that we need to identify with our jobs less. It reeks of the kind of bitterness the less productive people have for the go-getters for "making them look bad."
