In Conclusion, according to Aristotle, what is happiness?
Happiness is the ultimate end and purpose of human existence
Happiness is the ultimate end and purpose of human existence
Happiness is not pleasure, nor is it virtue. It is the exercise of virtue.
Happiness cannot be achieved until the end of one's life. Hence it is a goal and not a temporary state.
Happiness is the perfection of human nature. Since man is a rational animal, human happiness depends on the exercise of his reason.
Happiness depends on acquiring a moral character, where one displays the virtues of courage, generosity, justice, friendship, and citizenship in one's life. These virtues involve striking a balance or "mean" between an excess and a deficiency.
Happiness requires intellectual contemplation, for this is the ultimate realization of our rational capacities.

Happiness is deceptively simple - it's about being satisfied with life and experiencing more positive emotions than negative. Many of us find the pursuit of happiness to be frustratingly difficult. A relatively new branch of psychology, called positive psychology, studies what makes people happy and what doesn't.
What is synthetic happiness? It’s the ability to manufacture one’s own happiness. It stands in contradistinction to ‘natural happiness’ or happiness that is based on the things in the external world going well. We have the ability to shape and manipulate our perception of things and arrange them so that we like and enjoy what we have. Natural happiness is what we get when we get what we wanted and synthetic happiness is what we make we don’t get what we wanted. In our society, we have a strong belief that synthetic happiness is inferior. Synthetic happiness is every bit as real and enduring as the kind of happiness you stumble upon when you get everything you were aiming for.
