I feel the complete opposite.

The things I really really really enjoy doing with my time are not (realistically) for sale. They are for me.

If you said I could make $250k a year by reading 100 books a year (a bit less than what I read on my own), I’d think long and hard about accepting.

I probably would because it would be interesting to test my assumptions, but I’d imagine it’d be less fun that reading them for free.
