Daniel Gilbert (psychologist), author of Stumbling on Happiness explains why happiness is independent from life circumstances. We synthesise happiness, so we do not need to seek for natural happiness. They are of the same quality!

• The natural happiness is what we get when we get what we wanted.
• The synthesized happiness is what we make when we don’t get what we wanted

So what is the best for being happy? Accept the things you can not change. “The great source of both the misery and disorders of human life, seems to arise from over-rating the difference between one permanent situation and another.” Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments
