		<description>Hi there, 

Interesting thoughts!

By asking &quot;what is happiness&quot; you ask a very good question. 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.”

For the detailed derivation of this conclusion please have a look at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spreadinghappiness.org/2009/08/what-is-happiness/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; What is happiness? &lt;/a&gt;; I’d love to hear what you think! 

Thank you,
