But what I believe the article is saying is that people who do not set goals are happier on average. There are exceptions of course. But the average goal driven person is less happy than the non goal driven person. It also makes this statement without passing judgment on whether or not people who do not set goals lead more productive, moral, or admirable lives.
I'd only suggest following their first suggestion if you truly believe self gratification to be the highest possible use of ones time. If there are things more important than happiness, I'd disregard it.
