ABSTRACT
We spend our lives searching for happiness. Indeed, both science and Buddhist teachings acknowledge happiness as the main motivating factor of human behavior. However, interpretations of what happiness is differ greatly across traditions and people, as do ways to find it. Many people think that family, relationships and work achievements will make them happy. Others would put money on the top of their happiness list; and some seek happiness in the pursuit of truth or justice. So while we all seek happiness, one of the main tasks in our lives is to understand what happiness is and to choose the right path to find it.
