I guess that the point of the article is also that "money doesn't buy you happiness", but the author only says it between the lines. He does state that success in business will also not bring you happiness if you don't take the time and care for other aspects of your life.

The view may be a bit skewed since he is a coach and will mostly deal with people who have a problem. It is still a good reminder to try to have a balanced life, regardless of where on the ladder you are :)

The author also owns enough money to buy himself a Lamborghini for his 30th birthday. It's easier to say that money is not the point when you have lots of it. Money may not buy you happiness but it sure does make a lot of things easier.
Money does buy happiness, though, from all the time I have spent observing rich people. Clearly rich people do find ways to become unhappy but it seems like a struggle compared to the rest of us. It's not hard to coach when the largest barrier in human life is stripped away from your clients (well, excepting disabilities).
