Just my two cents, I think part of the problem he's addressing is that modern living is set up so it's easy to "buy shit because you're depressed" instead of having some sort of meaningful experience. So yes, it's your choice to buy a bunch of new clothes instead of going on a kayaking trip, but you make that choice because those opportunities aren't given equal weight.
