Not really.

I hated work most of my life, and then got some good career guidance from a book called "Discover What You Are Best At."

I found a job that used my talents in a way that kept me interested.

You don't have to work on passion projects like art or research to be content.

Just find something where you feel engaged.

Yes, but there's a big difference between 'man, the job sucked today' and 'my god, I hate this job, nothing good ever happens.'
