I tend to agree with this comment. He is trying to delineate more precisely what is meant by "Do what you love," but in the process falls into an implicit model of life, which is something like: "If you can discover the secret rule of life and have the courage to follow it, everything else in your in your life will fall into place for you." Like all models, there is some truth to it, but his essay I think underestimates the complexity of life.
In reality, we all are subject to a variety of pressures and make our decisions based on a series of trade-offs, as many of these posts have illustrated, and loving your work is only one factor. A few people may make really good decisions and have all the external factors go their way, but I'm not sure whether this is principle or probability at work.
