I doubt that to be the case. Many (most?) people are lost without a job. Witness the many retirees that get part time jobs because they can't stand sitting around all day.

Some people derive meaning from their work and are lost without it.

Witness the many retirees that get part time jobs because they can't survive on the income they have without them.

Hobbies are what they need. But after a life of working some can't trasition. I once heard that life expectancy drops 2 years for every year after XX that you retire. IIRC XX was like 55 or 60 but its a fuzzy memory. Of course thats an average.
