A great read, and not just because of how deeply I felt the distinction between love-work and hate-work. I also really enjoyed how Horton described research eras in psychology.

You must know, on some level, that doing work you love is psychologically different from doing work you hate. They don’t just feel different, emotionally. The two forms of work have different psychological textures. They involve different actions. They have a different cadence, different aims, different outcomes, and draw upon different wells of energy
