They do, at least to a certain degree. You just can't exclude them. 

The point is to acquire and enjoy them while simultaneously doing your best to minimize the destruction of your spirituality and integrity.

Believe it or not, you can even use them to practice your spirituality and do more good things in the world.

Don't just believe everything Leo says. He is limited, hence flawed. I can see some of his flaws.

I finished watching his video about Tate just now. I don't know the guy because he is not interesting enough to be worth my time. But in general, Leo's video has good points and is worth watching. But believe it or not, Leo displayed his bias there which doesn't need to be your bias. I have seen a few flaws.

And life is not just contemplation, integrity, and truth. It's also about variety of experiences and enjoyment.

If happiness is our natural set point, then you should be looking to reduce sources of unhappiness. Literally, ascending  Maslow's hierarchy is to do with this, and so is Buddhism. There's the physical, biological and the psychological. Western self-help culture has it the wrong way round.

Making peace with yourself and living from/in that vibration.

@Thought Art The purging of repressed painful memories.

Happiness is a default state, for which you need very little as an adult (some social contact, some meaningful thing to do, food, sleep, shelter)

If you have the basic things and your state deviates from happiness, it's old pain messing with your present reality.

[gettoefl]

wanting is unhappiness

namely thinking you lack

and you need to chase

engaging and enjoying

whatever comes along

but not caring if it stays

or if it goes goes

this is happiness

and your true nature

[Consept]

Nothing material will really so making peace with that will bring you contentment 

[roopepa]

You are already happiness. Though happiness cannot "join" thoughts and beliefs that are contrary to the happiness you are.
