Higher levels of serotonin do not translate into higher levels of happiness. The link between interventions relating to serotonin and depression are complex, but there is no reason to presume that people with more serotonin are "happier." Also, the first article states the relationship is an inverse relationship between serotonin and transcendence measures.
