They don't strike me as particularly happy or healthy or wise either.
Personally I prefer to advocate "Making Money Doing What You Love", and that is the theme of my Blog. I see these four possibilities:

(1) Being Unemployed and Not Doing What You Love
(2) Having a Job that Pays Your Bills But You're Not Doing What You Love
(3) Having a Job Doing What You Love (Could involve partial ownership in company, such as for example working for Google and owning stock options)
(4) Being Self Employed Doing What You Love

I don't think it's that bad to have a job as long as it's #3 above, and not #2. I personally prefer #4, but if the thing I loved to do required a lot of co-operation with other people, such as for example being a video game designer, I might prefer #3. I think #2 is what Steve is really trying to get people to shake and to him doing #1 is even better than #2 because it will probably lead you a lot quicker to #4.... or you'll starve.
