This article seems like a really long-winded way of stating "people need to take control of their lives more".
It's alluded to in the article but not really explored well enough - basically the idea that you don't need to be always busy, you need to pick your battles, recognise when you're in a rut, and get out of it.
Looking at generalities like "the average X does X" is just not interesting. It's not a goal to aim for. The average person has never had a good life, and probably never will unless we have a massive reduction in population or something.
