A nice article in the NY times by Eilene Zimmerman emphasizes the surprising vital role of hobbies in lives of professionals.
She cites medical studies that activities you enjoy stimulate the "feel good" part of your brain. And this enjoyment then can help you think more creatively and give you confidence.
The hobby also allows you to hedge your bets in the cycles of ups and downs in your emotional life (i.e. you're not totally dependent on your job) and allows you to have perception of yourself outside of work and family.
