I've always thought that happiness comes from within. Personally, I am happy. I accept and love who I am - both the super and the not-so-super and constantly strive to better myself.
Happiness is inherently self-centered... if you boil anything down far enough, it comes down to how it makes you feel. I think some people believe this is a bad thing, but I do not.
I don't think that happiness is something that can be taught, only realized by the person on an individual basis. And, as has been previously mentioned, it is choices that lead us to have an emotion.

"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers." (M. Scott Peck)
