Happiness or joy is one of 6-8 basic emotions you are born with. To see more about emotions just type "emotions" into Yahoo! web search and a number of good links comes up. Wikipedia has good short summaries. An emotion or feeling of happiness arises when your perception of your state in relation to others and situations in your environment are good for your well being. It is a feeling which is a "quale," which you might also look up in web search.
I think there are three things absolutely necessary for lasting happiness. They are:
1. Having at least one other person whom you know loves you unconditionally and having a person you love unconditionally in turn.
2. Being satisfied with who you are and what you have in-so-long as these possessions are sufficient for your basic survival.
3. Having something to do with your body and mind that gives you and others gratification.
Good luck, good mental health, peace and love!
