To me happiness = contentness. Like after a run, when I'm just looking at a beautiful landscape or in the car, and I just feel "ok". But if I could feel that kind of ok as a permanent state of being it would probably be enough. That feeling can last at least an hour. Unfortunately it eventually fades and I get bored and agitated. If I could achieve that permanently it would be amazing, but in my experience meditation or yoga only increase agitation, the only thing which causes it is running or a hot shower. There's also ecstacy and mania, like when playing an intense video game, eating a delicious food, or winning a jackpot. That feeling fades almost instantly, and permanently feeling that would be kind of overwhelming.
