In the book

It is, in part, a talent — which means, like any talent, it can be developed by those willing to work at it. And it is deeply personal: you have to define what it means to you, because at its deepest level happiness is learning to honor your truest self, and most people are miserable precisely when they're out of touch with who they really are. There's even a rough equation for it: your happiness tends to equal your perception of the events in your life minus your expectations of how life should have gone. — Enjoy the Flight (Living/Balance/Happiness/Passion)
