Quick takeaways
- Happiness consists of enjoyment, satisfaction, and meaning in life, not just fleeting emotions; to build a happier life, focus on adding people and memories for enjoyment, managing what you have for satisfaction, and finding purpose for meaning.

These elements, rather than fleeting emotions, make up real happiness.
