This might look like a very traditional advice, but I think spending some time in the military is a pretty good thing to do. In particular, because it's really hard, and to someone who's more intellectually oriented, it's really alien and uncomfortable. You learn a lot about yourself when pushed to your limits, and then going back to normal life, everything looks very easy and achievable.
The author suggests doing something that makes you uncomfortable and makes you learn about yourself. He proposes a bunch of interesting things that have something lacking in common. They're all intrinsically good or semi-anarchistic things. I prefer my "go in the military" advice because it's completely opposite to one's anarchist penchant. And I think that's something important: to have a well formed perception, you need to experience things you don't necessarily agree with.
Note: here I assume that the reader is more prone to a free, somehow anarchist, anti-authoritarian point of view, and I suggest spending a decent effort in something contrarian to that.
