..."buying stuff no longer equals happiness, so that you don’t need stuff in your life to be happy, but are made happy by people, by doing things, by appreciating what you have … then you will be vastly happier over the long term."
Leo Babauta's blog Zenhabits can make one happier, too - please enjoy!

..."a bike is much simpler than a car. No gas to refill, no oil changes, no spark plugs or transmission or air filters or coolant. If you could replace a car with a bike, your life would be much simpler." says Leo Babauta in his blog ... I agree :-) and healthier and cheaper....

..."I’ve always found myself happier when I get outside. Watch a sunset with loved ones, have a picnic, go for a hike with your family … this is just so much better for you, mentally and otherwise, than modern life, that it would be hard not to be happier after getting outdoors." Leo thinks getting outdoors is a way to learn to love the natural environment and having a great time without a car, a shopping mall, the latest TV set, etc - just simply enjoying fresh air, beautiful scenery, learning new things for free...
I agree wholeheartedly after silently and slowly biking along for three hours today... that's real quality of life...

Stanley, thanks! And Serge thanks, what a great sixth way - if you love go on loving your long-time partner you will have so much fun and exchange, you will not need all the artificial pass-times and easy-fixes (that only turn out expensive and disappointing in the end) ... so give appreciation and encouragement generously to the ones you love and they will stay amazingly interested, interesting and positive people... this goes for friends and most relatives, too. As all kinds of sharing is often very environmental friendly as well --- and sharing and caring makes us happier... very good addition, indeed!
