> if you don’t separate yourself from your work you’ll have no “you” when you dial back or become unnecessary or undesirable

I see this with a lot of people I know who retire and find they don't know what to do with their time. Work is all they ever really did.

I know another guy, well into his seventies, who is still working because there's nothing else he wants to do. He'll either die at his desk or in bed.
