It occurs to me that happiness could be like profits: It is an indication of success; a way to measure it (think a/b testing), but is not itself success. To toot the counter culture horn, it's the pursuit of profit as the end-goal that makes the world a rotten place... ironically, does the pursuit of happiness as an end-goal have similar issues? To rephrase: Like profits, happiness is a way to tell whether or not what you're doing is working, but it's not what you're doing.
