In his book, Full-Time: Work and the Meaning of Life, David L. Bahnsen makes the case we were created to work, and our work provides unique meaning and purpose in our lives. 

He argues that the time has come to stop tip-toeing around the issues that matter, that separating one’s identity from what they do is demonstrably false, and that this era of alienation is for many a direct result of a low view of work.

It is in work—effort, service, striving—of every kind that we discover our meaning and purpose; a significant and successful life is one rooted in full-time productivity and cultivation of God’s created world.
