In my opinion happiness is a choice, not a goal. You cannot "reach" happiness and be there. But you can decide to be happy and enjoy the world surrounding you.
I understand what you are saying about the "no pain no gain" thing. You don't want to suffer because it "might" lead to growth. You want growth. Sometimes you might not have the motivation to grow by yourself, then a kick from AM can help. Then it is your job to transform the kick into reaching a higher level of BEING YOU. After that you feel more like yourself, happiness is easier because you are more yourself than you have ever been in your life.
Remember Matrix? Do you want the blue pill and "just be happy" with your life right now, or do you want the red pill (AM) that opens your eyes to your current yourself and helps you chisel the real you. Second one is not as easy as the first one and it is not just happiness. But it leads to being more true to yourself which might make you happy.
