There are thousands of self-improvement books in the market, that attempt to show you the path to happiness- but I think in the end, it comes down to two simple principles:
1) Do good work: We can't be happy unless we're productive (or at least we feel like you are). We need to contribute to something bigger, to feel like we're making a difference, and be genuinely proud of our work.
2) Have a good time: We need to surround ourselves with people we genuinely like and can be ourselves with. Is there anything more thrilling than being understood, and being liked for who we are? Too many people try to hang out with people they want to be more like, instead of who they are like.
The key is to stop lying to yourself. Don't pretend that you're working hard when you hate what you're doing. Don't spend time with people you can't stand just because they're well connected.
If you're genuinely doing what you want to do, it shows. People want to help you. Things fall into place. There's nothing stopping us from being happy besides ourselves.
