Well, it all depends on what you mean by happiness, doesn't it? If you just mean that giddy feeling, then no responsible human being seeks that as an end goal. But if you mean something more like fulfillment, the way that the ancients meant it, then it seems at least reasonable to say that all people seek it, even if their idea of fulfillment varies. And if you mean something like fulfillment, there's nothing necessarily selfish about it either.
