There are multiple kinds of happiness and some are better than others. The best kind of happiness comes from habits and morals.
Technically, the only things you like are brain chemicals. Your stupid monkey brain will shoot out some of these chemicals whenever you get some chocolate or hump something. Very random and unsatisfying. But you can hack your brain to release these at regular intervals.
How? You need a mindful way of living that is pleasurable in itself. That typically means a habituated and ethical life, which can help you recognize the importance of your actions. Then, both pleasure and pain are subservient to a larger system of living. When you pursue this mindful ethical way of living, the duties of that life become themselves pleasurable. That means feel-good chemicals for the monkey brain.
tl:dr Happiness from habits, not indulgences.
