Humans judge true happiness through a mix of subjective feelings (pleasure, life satisfaction) and objective elements like meaning, virtue, and self-realization. Philosophers distinguish hedonic happiness (pleasure-seeking) from eudaimonic (flourishing via purpose and acceptance of reality). Psychology shows it's often measured by positive emotions, engagement, relationships, and personal growth rather than fleeting joy.Related sources:
