Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.

You might really like this book:

It's not a self help book, it's more of an exploration of what happiness is, how we percieve it, and how we can never really know if your idea of happiness and my idea of happiness even mean the same level of happy feeling. It's a great book :)
