What is happy?

being nearer/nearest to your desired self

That sounds like vanity to me, when you consider people harbour all sorts of irrational idealizations of themselves, usually drawn from influences around them (media etc). I'd say happiness is about being as close as possible to your natural self, regardless of what this outlook makes of you. I think there is justification to this view in that very few people find themselves doing exactly what they expected or hoped for in life (in relationships, jobs etc) yet many who would describe themselves as happy.
