That approach seems compatible with the article's main points. For example, if you drain your energy by not taking care of yourself, you'll likely end up sitting around watching TV instead of helping people.
I agree that it's compatible, and further that taking care of yourself is crucial to being able to effectively help others. The author might agree too, but in that case it's rather peculiar that everything in the article has an egoistic bent to it. Even if it wasn't the author's intention, I think it's worth pointing out that any mention of altruistic behavior is conspicuously absent from the article.
