Abstract
The concept of happiness has been under consideration among philosophers, psychologists, theologians and mystics since a long time. These disciplines have tried to explain the concept in their own respective manners. The purpose of this paper is to examine the theoretical and practical aspects of the notion of happiness. This would explicate two approaches to the problem of happiness: philosophical and psychological to know how to achieve happiness and avoid unhappiness. We claim that happiness is not merely a matter of fate but a skill that can be learnt to groom one’s personality and to lessen pains. This paper deals with following core questions: Is the term ‘happiness’ definable? Is happiness an internal state of mind or the result of external state of affairs?
