      That’s a very philosophical question 🙂
      In general, happiness can be defined as a positive emotional and mental state, similar to contentment and joy. According to psychologist Martin Seligman, we are most happy when we have pleasure (for example by eating nice food), engagement, relationships, meaning and accomplishments. But I also think that everybody is happy for different reasons and we probably can’t generalise. What makes you happy?
