This is an interesting perspective! I agree that it all comes up to what we choose. Indeed we have more power to use for our own purposes if we quit the adrenaline race to work and choose remote work. But here the power of self discipline intervenes because as easy as it is to be the master of your own time it is also dangerously tempting to squander it as no one is watching.
Perhaps some folks will discover that they can be more disciplined with a remote job while others will miss the rush of adrenaline. As you probably know our brain can become hooked on negative emotions like getting angry in traffic because you will be late at work...
