What I read in this article are 2 things, the urge of getting all you can get out of life and risk aversion. These 2 things are a sure way of getting stuck with a real depression/burnout. My generation (gen-x) has learned to let go of things that you are not able stear, things like corrupt structures around you that try to manipulate you to participate in it and play along. At the same time my generation (gen-x) has learned to try to do yourself things that are interesting even when those structures around you tell you that those things you persue are not relevant to the world. I say my generation in this case because of recognision that my peers of the same generation generally feel the same as I do with this. Myself and my peers have very much the punk ethos of taking care of things ourself without being overtly reliant on society and when society tells us we are wrong then we very much raise our middle finger against society. With younger people I mostly see the oposite, they too much play along and do what they are told to do by society and are afraid to "not fulfil the way that others see them as they should be". To millenials I would say, take more (calculated) risks, and stop being afraid to make mistakes as they enable one to learn and become a better version of oneself (at least a version that is not afraid to look into the mirror).
