I came across an interesting compilation of resources regarding what likely makes someone happy. Covers a large range of factors and touches on the current thought that 50% is genetics and only 10% based on more circumstantial factors like money, beauty, and family with the remaining 40% being within the persons control. Also covers things like: Stuff isn't likely to make you happy; Keeping a gratitude journal results in the same level of happiness increase as a 2x increase in salary.

I cam across this on an interesting thread at Bogleheads with some thoughtful discussion and interjections by people who have spoken publicly on the topics of psychology in economics.
