Abstract: Abstract When we congratulate family, friends, colleagues or acquaintances, we may wish them luck, good health or express our love and gratitude; for those with a more material outlook, perhaps success in a new business venture or job. And all these aspirations can be summed up in one goal: happiness, because Aristotle was right: “happiness is the meaning and purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.”
