I don't think happiness is a mystery. I think it's about doing things we like and spending time with people we like, and not suffering so much that we struggle to enjoy that. I think the problem is often things we need to be happy are beyond our control and when we can't get what we need to be happy we end up concluding it's a mystery.

One thing is for sure: Money can't buy happiness but it can buy less unhappiness.
