| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Happiness |
 | | Kant is inclined to an over-ready acceptance of the Hedonistic identification of happiness with sensuous pleasure, and for this reason he is opposed to our working for our own happiness whilst he allows us to seek that of others. | | | In setting happiness as the intrinsic result of a policy of "following nature", the Stoics and the Cyrenaics were in verbal agreement with Plato, though diverging to opposite poles in their answer to the psychological question as to the constituents of happiness. | | | Stuart Mill, whilst defining happiness as "pleasure and absence of pain", and unhappiness as "pain and privation of pleasure", insists as a most important point that "quality must he considered as well as quantity", and some kinds of pleasure are more desirable and valuable than others on grounds other than their pleasantness. |

| | Happiness in Everyday Life: The Uses of Experience Sampling |
| | Here, however, happiness is also affected by preparation for the future: young people who study more are on the whole happier, presumably because they realize that by building psychological capital the range of opportunities and hence their freedom will increase in the future. | | | Teenagers ascribe “happiness” to their moods when they are in situations of relative freedom, in the company of age-mates, able to engage in flow activities that stretch their skills and makes them feel alive and proud. | | | It is difficult for a young person to be happy when living in a sterile suburb that lacks opportunities for action, forced to attend schools where there is little chance to express oneself except in abstract intellectual terms, surrounded by a small nuclear family that is seldom together and relaxed enough to interact freely. |

| | Happiness & Public Policy |
| | Happiness is a cultural/normative kind: a combination of basic emotions, moods, beliefs, and behavioral and inferential dispositions. | | | Happiness is not a natural, universal psychological kind about which one can draw strict law-like generalizations. | | | As individuals marry and form families and progress in their careers, the enhanced happiness they obtain from these sources offsets the adverse impact on happiness of a gradual deterioration in health. |

| | Herbert Bronstein - Happiness |
| | Happiness is the quality that inheres in our response to the questions of life. | | | Happiness is what emerges after we have risen above negative happenstances of our own past, our own regrets for our own misjudgments and envy at the good happenstance of others. | | | The very first aspect of happiness, real happiness, I would have to emphasize, is acceptance of the imperfections of life. |

| | The difference is that instead of listing the things that are making him happy or unhappy, he writes down his key life 'domains' (love, profession, friends, play) and assigns them a rating on a scale of one to 10. | | | One of the problems with happiness is that it is notoriously difficult to define. | | | By identifying the sources of happiness in our lives and making a conscious effort to optimise them, most of us should be able to raise our average satisfaction levels. |

| | Colin Wilson's The Outsider concludes that those who are made unhappy through the search for truth are reconciled with happiness through peak experiences, random moments of happiness to which they hold on to and keep in their minds, and therefore that those who are naturally happy, such as me, are those who generate peak experiences. | | | The search for happiness, and the search for truth, are both facilitated by an internal muse called Satan, whose Infernal teachings cleanse our minds from attachment to false happiness-saviours. | | | Stupidity is failure to doubt, to therefore be made unhappy by truth, and failure to enjoy life. |
