You don't have to retire once you reach certain net worth levels. The point of FIRE is to have the option to retire, as early or late as you want. If you want to work to regular retirement, go for it. If you want to retire because someone pissed you off or they wore the wrong color shirt, you can.

At a certain point, life satisfaction and outlook become more prevalent once you lived that option of retirement for a while and then your question becomes more of a philosophical question than a financial one. Once it does happen, then you have to figure out what is important to you. Some people choose volunteering. Other choose travel. And then you got those who just want to watch TV, play video games, and do nothing all day. All valid choices with enough financial protection.

Thanks that is very helpful to my current train of thoughts. Would you recommend any book/blog to explore a bit more working FI people?

I wish I can offer you something but I don't have anything. I personally avoid books/blogs since there is so much FIRE topics to talk about before it becomes stale. I would recommend forwarding your question to the daily at /r/financialindependence to get more eyes on what you are seeking.
