happy with life


Explanation:
I'm sure we'll have a good number of suggestions from Brazil for this question! Surely this can't be a unique selling point?! it sounds like a Brazilian national trait to me.

I think \'at peace with life\' is OK, \'in peace with life\' sounds wrong though.
but Google the phrases:
\"he is happy with life\" (218 hits)
and \"he is at peace with life\" (13 hits)
I\'d say \'happy with life\' is the typical English way to say this phrase.
