I'm not sure what you mean by that; but I think people like this author fantasize about extreme life changes when one of their core needs as a human isn't being met. It's generally better to identify and satisfy that need, instead of taking a huge leap in the opposite of your current direction.
It's easy to give vague advice though, and the more vague it is the less actionable it tends to be. These "huge leaps" can be seen as a counterpoint to that, where people are trying to do something, and anything less extreme won't really feel like something -- it won't feel like a life-changing event.
