The book says this - Life is short. Don't "over-index" on investing and saving for your future self. Invest your money in getting memorable experiences (whatever is important to you - parasailing, spending time with your kid/parent, or throwing a lavish party with your loved ones).

I like the concept of giving away money to your loved things (kids, charity or whatever your love) and dying with the bare minimum thing in your savings account. In principle, this is a good take - live life fully with zest and don't succumb to your work or habits. I also understand this comes only from a place of privilege (social, economic and emotional status). But still, this advice is good.

But I'm not too fond of all the things about metrics like emotional dividends, index on what is essential and other numbers.
