I recommend James Suzman's recent book Work: A Deep History, from the Stone Age to the Age of Robots, which examines our relationship with work from our evolutionary beginnings to modern day. The interplay of most of our human past from before agriculture, that revolution, the industrial revolution, and our beliefs about economics and distribution of scarce resources or abundance will likely change your views about how much to work and where to get satisfaction in life.

A big takeaway is that much of what many of us believe are human traits are more products of an economic system we choose than our basic wiring. Ignorance of other systems keeps us from seeing we can change our beliefs.
