The article's crux is on the subtitle: Be skeptical of pop psychology studies.
After reading the whole piece, I'm not sure any specific argument or point presented was stronger than the subtitle. Exactly because experiences vs possessions is a deep an interesting rabbit hole, having someone tell you in so many words "Trust that you can actually learn, at least broadly, what makes you happy, and that you know yourself more deeply than a pop psychology article does." doesn't look like a good use of someone's time.
I guess that's the classic dilemma of 'think for yourself' pieces.
