For me happiness is an incredibly flawed metric. It's so obtuse that it's context is the only thing of value to discuss. I.e. that article for me is discussing financial well-being.

For nearly two years I've split happiness into 3 pillars: .Mental well-being .Physical well-being .Social well-being

A truly happy day is a stars aligning event where each category has to be fulfilled.

But you get a lot more nuance in knowing your emotional happiness is not occurring with equally strong physical or social happiness.

This is a realistic way of looking at things, I would break it down personally a bit more granular level, but it is quite true. Most days I barely achieve the targets (this mostly applies mostly to my personal goals) I set out for the day but I am making peace with myself due to a really painful breakup I have gone through recently, while also dealing with some other personal troubles and I am trying to make peace with it cause I think I have come to accept the troubles I have been in the past few months and planning to do things about it.
