Let’s classify happiness in simple (basic) happiness and complex (social, standardized, approved) happiness. As the basic happiness does not require many things or at least not many things that can be bought it “has been” evolved into a complex happiness with much greater needs. However this complex hapiness is also much more unstable and fragile because even if based in part on the simpler form it relies too much on form and image.

As for the simple happiness it is much more difficult to achieve these days because of the continuous comparison with the complex variant and the rapidly changing environment. Thus my opinion is that simple happiness require a bubble of isolation which can be created only by discipline. The discipline is required to continuosly maintain and filter the aspects which might compare or translate to complex happiness and thus lead to the demise of happiness.
