By anti religionists you mean me, if not I'm the OP so I'll respond.
Personally I have no problem with any person regardless of their personal belief system, advocating making small inconsequential changes to their lives to make them happy, conversely not making any changes at all simply amending our perception of life in a positive way may benefit some.
Nobody is preaching here, however the fact that it is a religious man advocating this and I as a non religious person subscribe to it rather negates your argument. Why you feel I wouldn't accept the theory from others I have no idea.... It doesn't subscribe to any specific religious ideology, and if people are happy already then that's great this is probably not for you.
