Let's talk about where you're going.
This has probably been answered, but search isn't working for me for some reason.

Why can't I use 2 Glimmering or 2 Vitality with Study to gain +1 Passion or +1 Health suddenly? It worked once, the UI shows that I should be able to do it, but I can't click [S]tart, it's faded out.

e: And just as I click submit I figure it out. I have to Study Stronger Physique/Vivid Imagination...

It only works the first time. After that you have to use skills or books.

But now I'm confused. I need 4 Vitality with Stronger Physique to gain another health. It takes 1 minute to Study Health to gain +1 Vitality, and Vitality only last 3 minutes. Therefore you can never gain the 4 Vitality needed. I must be missing something.

There’s more than one way to gain Vitality, Glimmerings, and Erudition.

King Crucible, Ezeem, and the Baldomerian can if you have a lot of Forge, Grail, and Lantern respectively.

There are greater powers than your friendly local legmass. They can serve as teachers.

One of them is a real loving poser to figure out unless you get the lore that gives you the hint, though.

The Watchman illuminates even the histories.

You know how you can drop lore into a rite slot and it'll give you suggestions on things you might want to do with it?

Try putting in some Secret Histories (the "explore for dungeon quest" lore) and see what it suggests.

Decided to do a Heart cult this time, and it's actually kind of fun. Contentment's got Heart on it so that helped kick people up to Disciple, and once I got to Heart Lore 8 I summoned a Percussgiant, which had Heart 8, and maxed out my Heart Disciples in what I can only imagine was an enormous dance party.

As long as I'm not making GBS threads Mystique all over the place like a protective ink cloud I can just snuff Notoriety out.

You can convert a fund to a contentment with one of the verbs too along with painting sometimes giving them as well.

Just put a fund into dreaming. You'll get a Contentment after 30 seconds. It warns you that it can make you become ill if you do it too much, but I've never had anything happen.

This is typically the best way to do it because Dreaming only takes 30 seconds, so even if you stack 3 Dread cards you'll have enough time to get a Contentment off.

Painting. Paint with four passion, and you'll pop out 0-3 contentment.

If you exclusively paint as a job, you can just keep a Contentment around for a while by always using it for inspiration.

I do that with restlessness later in the game. Can easily keep a "dread" around doing that.

Painting with 1 passion eats restlessness, but any if the bigger imagination skills preserve the emotion you slot in as inspiration, I believe.

Nope, the slot always eats Restlessness. Anything else will be preserved, though.

Dreaming with Funds is by far the best way of generating Contentment on demand. Dreaming of the Orchard of Lights is a Fund free way that uses a low-value verb, but risks grabbing a card that decays into Fascination. The Moonlit Streets and the Club both use the most important verb in the mid-game (which is most of the game).

Feels like we should really get extra verbs later in the game to reflect a larger cult size. I've got two dozen cultists, let me use them, give more than one at a time tasks! More exploration/talk makes the most sense. Dream and work can stay as singles. Hm, maybe an extra study if you have the right kind of cultist?

I would love a way to get an extra Study just for the convenience.

I have no idea, and don't know why you would ask that. Except to assume that since you did bring it up, the Mansus is not corporeal in some way? That's more then what I had to go on before at least; I'll check the lore cards for what seems closest to ethereal things.
