Read Atlas Shrugged. It's big but it's good - when you get to the end you'll realise that all of those pages of detail were actually there for a good reason.
You need to understand that the point of life is to enjoy it - and the root of all meaningful human happiness is pride - and the primary root of self-pride is productive labour.
Productivity, as a man, is what makes human beings tick. And the extent to which you are productive, according to your potential, is the extent to which you will experience pride & therefore deep & meaningful happiness. I.e. the more you distinguish yourself from a mindless animal the more you will naturally feel happiness.
You just need a change of perspective, and for that I recommend reading Ayn Rand, and for easier to swallow goodness I recommend the 'fountainhead' and 'atlas shrugged' as they are fiction (and 'anthem' is a nice 2 hour long novella I recommend too). There is ALOT more to atlas shrugged, regarding life in general, than opposing collectivism & socialist ideas.
