"Darrin McMahon still cannot define happiness after spending six years researching and writing a book about it."
"The history of the idea of happiness can be neatly summarized in a series of bumper sticker equations: Happiness= Luck (Homeric), Happiness=Virtue (classical), Happiness=Heaven (medieval), Happiness=Pleasure (Enlightenment) and Happiness=A Warm Puppy (contemporary)."

Psychologists are doign a lot of work on this at the moment.

happiness for me is a momnentary meta awareness of well being and enjoying the moment enough to savour it.

True happiness is something we find inside and bring out not something we find outside and bring in.
