I love Adam Mastroianni's writings. There is a lot of good advise (which I promptly forget about for historic reasons) and an awful lot of measured hope (which is a balm to my parched soul). He also just has a great approach to science and communication in general.
Also also - he usually release all of his articles in audio form, narrated by himself. Those are available in podcast form wherever you get those. It's how I ingest most of his articles, the definite highlight of my podcast "recents".

Know your Why, and the How becomes more clear and bearable.
I would argue your statement needs an amendment to reflect the article's message: Know your Why, and How much you are willing to willing to give for it becomes more clear, and perhaps more bearable if it can be endured through a lens of optimism.
I really appreciate when people, like this author, are honest enough to say that life sucks at many points. To fight against the "grindset" that plagues a lot of conversation, especially in professional/career oriented spaces. But at the same time, some level of "grind" may be worth it if you will be at least somewhat happy with the end result.
The challenge is we often don't know the end result. We can speculate, and reach conclusions more easily for some topics than others. It is the great unknown that poses a significant challenge for me, and a lack of feeling in control of it that drove me to a dark place in my past that was incredibly difficult to get out of.
And to be truthful, I am not completely out of it and likely never will be - there will always be things out of my control, and some will bother me more than others, but I have learned that I can retain control (to some degree) over my reaction to these things.
