If production is taken care of by robots, what's left is consumption and creation. The "average" human will be happy to consume endlessly as the proliferation of click-bait and video games shows.

And for those with an inclination to create, what better than all the time in the world to pursue a talent and bask in the talent of others?

For the vast majority of people, work provides a means, not a meaning. A world without cubicles ought to reduce rather than increase nihilism levels worldwide, so I imagine self-actualization won't be the primary concern.

Health and basic income will be our major challenges ahead.
