Recently I had my own shot at defining happiness, which aims to be more “scientific” and “objective” (as much as this is possible for a subjective feeling such as happiness): “A person can be considered to have experienced a “happy” moment if the person chooses to re-live it as an end in itself if offered at no cost.”<br>For the detailed derivation of this conclusion please have a look at <a href=" <a href="http://www.spreadinghappiness.org/2009/08/what-is-happiness/%22" rel="nofollow">http://www.spreadinghappiness.org/2009/08/what-...</a>> What is happiness? </a>; What do you think about this definition? <br>Thank you, Nick Insightful post!
