One aspect of life that should not be under-estimated is a focus on happiness.
Quite frankly, one of the bases of my personal philosophy, and topics such as purpose of society is a maximization of personal pleasure.
Some basic factors are personal finances and [[ personal health ]], as well as social factors.
If you’re looking to increase your own happiness, tetrafarmakos might be a good place to start.
Financial aspect of happiness
As the saying goes,
Money can’t buy happiness.
Except for the fact that it kind of can. Poverty destroys health, both mental and physical, and increases personal risk, all things which can be detrimental for happiness.

Health aspect of happiness
Social aspect of happiness
Something overlooked in increasing personal happiness, is increasing social, or group happiness. Often, increasing the happiness of those around you, increases your own personal happiness.
