I think, you'll find that the equation works better if you reverse the RHS.

Happiness = Reality - Expectations.

The lesser the expectations and the greater/better the reality, the more the happiness. :)

(NB: I use this equation as a general rule for my life. In fact, I put it in one of my first HN comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5932133)

You're right, that's what I meant.
