I think there is a more fundamental definition of "happiness" which underpins all of these other measurements to a large degree. My favorite definition, since it is very useful (anyone can use it to improve their own happiness immediately) is:
“Happiness is the overcoming of not unknown obstacles toward a known goal.” — L. Ron Hubbard
