Most conscious people realise that the question of how to be happy cannot be answered in the way society has so far expected us to answer it. Things are changing. However, most people could use at least a little guidance about how to go about finding a new answer.
I believe the question of how to be happy can be answered best within a spiritual context. I was once an atheist, and dedicated my entire being to finding out how to be happy. Eventually, my beliefs shifted as I found things that challenged me viewpoints as I explored. The best answers to how to be happy did not come from evolutionary psychology as I expected, but from people who seemed to believe in weird stuff such as reincarnation. I went from spending years throwing the baby out with the bathwater, transitioning to taking these messages and trying to fit them into my old context, and finally I chose to update my belief systems. If you are an atheist or agnostic, I don't ask you to believe anything, but I recommend an open mind in your search... and to expect the unexpected. Fundamentalist religious people could also question their beliefs;) Happiness comes with freedom.
I believe happiness can best be defined as a combination of living your soul's highest path and purpose, being healthy (and being healthy is something that you can achieve), and being connected. Sleep, exercise, sex, connecting with friends, laughing, singing and dancing should be done as much as possible. Eat as much fruit as possible. Raise your vibration. Want to know how?
