I completely agree. The article is a circular contradiction. The author's goal is listed right in the article:
"How did I do it? By creating new disciplines I actually liked doing. This is the secret to a healthy, productive life and to making an impact on the world. Create good, sustainable habits that you enjoy, and you’ll end up with a life you can be proud of."
Didn't he have a clear purpose or reason (goal) for focusing on those 4 practices?
Summary of article:
Goals are bullshit. Reach your goal of happiness by focusing on doing repeatable actions. Then you'll reach your goal and win life.
