I'm not supporting this particular book, but there is plenty of great research about what correlates to happiness. Here's a great post to read that links to tons of research on the topic: http://lesswrong.com/lw/4su/how_to_be_happy/
That depends how you define happiness. For some people, simply pursuing their dream makes them the happiest. It may be painful, miserable, and ultimately end in failure, but for a certain set of people that's the only way they can live.
