That's crazy advice. Put your energy into your friends, family and your health. Don't put your energy into some company without fair compensation. You have a finite well of energy from which to draw. I don't know how you can feel great about giving too much to a business to make someone else rich without getting your cut.
If you want a challenge, challenge yourself to camp more, or ride your bike more, or have more parties or to leave your desk and your work behind at 4:30 everyday to the extent you're able to do that. Challenge yourself to work less this year; not more.
Go talk to anybody retired and ask them about the good ol' days. Exactly zero will talk about how they liked working super hard and 100% will talk about friends, family, and cool crap they did.
