Since we had no choice in being born, I fully agree with making the best of being alive while we exist.
Even though the vast majority of people don’t see it and will never experience it, the key to subjective happiness as you describe it (I maintain existential happiness is impossible without delusion, chemical help, or psychosis), is quite simple.
Exercise and health, self-reliance, avoidance of vice, good relationships, expertise in your field, living within your means, the outdoors, creative and intellectual pursuits, and the occasional hedonistic act. There it is. The secret to a subjectively happy life. For all to see.
Now if you could get people to listen to this, instead of the other bullshit they are sold, our ersatz economy would collapse instantly. :)
