People who optimize for happiness aren't bragging about having done so, usually. Its hard to do so without coming across as smug and holier than thou, "I have achieved nirvana and you haven't, striving peasant."

Many disregarded, lower income, "lower class" people have as much ability as people paid many times the income, but they have chosen to balance their life differently, often for greater happiness for themselves or others. Those people who have too many dogs, for example.
