I was looking for an online copy of the book after reading a review on it, but this was the best I could find.

Apparently, some people understand how leisure isn't just about having fun, but about bringing harmony to one's inner-personality through the cultivation and expression of imagination. Believing people live to work, in contrast, makes life drab, dull, and full of drudgery.

Everything we do is work. Whether you enjoy it or not is simply a choice you make. Yes, if you choose to see it as drudgery then it will be. However, there is nothing stopping you from simply choosing to enjoy it.

I'm reminded of G.B. Shaw's Man & Superman, especially the 3rd act (Don Juan in Hell).
I think I'll read that again.
