Excepts taken from (and more discussion available on): Happiness: What is it to be Happy? Author: Kiki Berk

1. Hedonism
Happiness is simply the experience of pleasure.

2. Virtue Theory
Happiness is the result of cultivating the virtues—both moral and intellectual—such as wisdom, courage, temperance, and patience.

3. Desire Satisfaction Theory
Happiness consists in getting what you want—whatever that happens to be.

4. Life Satisfaction Theory
Happiness consists in being satisfied with your life.
