He even claims in the article that it is not politically motivated, that it holds regardless of political affiliation (materialism in that case). But given his conservative background, and the fact that what he has 'found' (I haven't checked whatever sources there are for myself) seems to perhaps promote a tempered, conservative life#, I am not so sure that he is completely without political bias in this piece.

#Though that is debatable. You don't have to be a conservative or a liberal to come to your own conclusion that leading a life where you try to temper your immediate desires and seek stability (see: monogamy mentioned in the article) for yourself. Political affiliation is only about what you tell others to do. But this is an opinion article where the author is explicitly promoting a specific way of life, so it might be politically motivated.
