That's a nice dictionary definition of happiness. It really tells us what happiness means - in general terms.
[NOTE: Happiness does not mean you are always in an "up", positive mood. True happiness requires a wide range of emotions, including pain and sadness. It is the frequent and long-lasting components that are important. Additionally, the intensity of positive emotions is not a good predictor of happiness. For example, lottery winners, who are "ecstatic" for a brief period of time typically are not any happier over time than they were before they won the lottery]
And it is the ultimate goal of this website - BeHappy101.com - to help you achieve that consistent state of well-being and create those frequent, long-lasting positive emotions. To do that requires a "system" that results in a life-plan for creating your happiest possible life.

Why is this important?
Happiness is something most everyone wants. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people do not consider themselves "very happy" (and certainly not as happy as they can be). This has not changed in the past 60 years.
More importantly, though, is the fact that happiness is the best way to stay healthy and live longer. Studies show that happy people live up to 9 years longer than unhappy people and have less disease, less illness, have the need for less medication, and are more energetic and vital.
