The reason some people can't stop working is not ambition. It's that they don't know who they are when they stop. The work is holding the identity together. Rest threatens it.

This is not sustainable and it usually announces itself in a way that's hard to ignore when it does.

You don’t want to be the person that regrets not spending more time in the most important places…home, spouse, father/mother.

That’s my dad. Nothing to be done about it unfortunately.

Who can say that home, spouse, father/mother are more important than work? They are all ephemeral too, just like work. They all give you identity, just like work. But it's also false that "people can't stop working", most people don't care at all about their work.
