Instead of commenting on my own experience, I just want to add a factoid I picked up recently. From the book "Triumphs of Experience", which is about a long-term longitudinal study of around 300 males from age 18 through death, it was found that there is a powerful correlation between "coping style" at age 30, and overall health and happiness at age 70.
Basically, if at age 30 you have a "coping style" where you retreat from the world and cut yourself off from people, this is correlated with being very unhappy at age 70. But if you have a coping style whereby you seek out connection in order to work through your problems, this is correlated with being quite happy and surrounded by friends and family at age 70.
The book is packed full of scientifically-validated facts like this about long-term happiness. Definitely recommended for other men; there are other studies like it about women.
