  I banished misery from my life sometime in my early twenties.

Could you please elaborate? I don't mean any personal details but maybe which methods or books etc helped you achieve that?

A combination of "this too shall pass," careful consideration of just how shitty the less-privileged really have it, and the realization that the only thing wallowing in misery was really getting me was more misery.
