The article opposes fullfilment and happiness to depression, anxiety and burnout.
I feel this is a mistake. There are a million things I love doing. My depression and anxiety, I feel, does NOT come from not having the right objectives.
It comes from the far more ponderous million obstacles that are constantly thrown in my path. Much in the name of self-righteousness, much in the name of lazyness, or incompetence or callousness, much in the name of "we'll make a law, that will solve it right up". Our so-called advanced society fails us constantly. That's EXHAUSTING. I don't have a problem finding fullfiling things. I have a problem of not enough (effective) staff and not enough years left to do the fun stuff in spite of that bullshit.
I was similarly reading the dispair of someone who needed to file paperwork ludicrously complicated for the purpose, and had a hard time mustering the energy to do that. And I totally understand them: some US administrative paperwork is just plain evil. In the name of what?
