What advice do you have for a man who is single and near 40? I don't have a love interest and not a love interest in sight. What advice do you have to being happy and single?

Just enjoy life...do what makes you happy. Happiness doesn't come from other people, it comes from within and until you are truly happy with yourself, you will not be happy with anyone else

Well, the question is whether you are bothered by not having a current love interest and whether you are actively seeking one?
I am the same age as you and in the same situation after having a long relationship end. My plan is not to rush things and to let things take their course. I am confident that I will find someone, but am not putting pressure on myself.
I consider myself happy and single. I have plenty of friends, and engage in lots of activities either with friends or alone. Keep a positive mindset, do not wallow in self pity, get out and enjoy yourself, your friends, and the world out there. If you are looking for a love interest, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet women -- even in some unexpected places.

Go to parties and mingle with various people. That way you'll make some friends as well as possibly find a love interest.

I get involved in volunteer activities outside of work and work towards making myself a better person mentally and physically. It also helps to have a pet. It always makes me feel good to give back to my community through volunteer work.
