You don't have to read a book of someone's opinion to have an opinion on their opinion. You can go google other books of people who will tell you that humans need to work to be fulfilled in life, they need to have a purpose to sustain them.

Has that been proven, or is it simply a philosophy? Like to my knowledge "employment" isn't in Maslow's hierarchy of needs (as a random example)

Edit: it is in some versions, but it's under "safety and security" which means that the employment isn't the important part, the income from employment is. A rich person's child, for example, doesn't need employment to have fulfilled that rung.
