Even if you love doing something, you'll eventually want a break. What this guy is describing is addiction. Work addiction is one of many types of addiction that isn't even seen as such because while it can destroy everything else in your life, it likely won't stop you from being financially successful and that's the only measure of success anyone actually gives a fuck about, it seems.
You can't be financially successful if destroying everything else left you with mental health issues that prevent you from working. A work addict can keep on for a while but they'll crash.
