•Moral happiness. Intertwined with virtue, moral happiness is more akin to a philosophical suite of attitudes than to a spontaneous subjective feeling. If your child leads a good and proper life, filled with moral meaning, he or she might feel deeply satisfied and content. Gilbert uses the Greek word eudaimonia to describe the idea, a word Aristotle translated as “doing and living well.” Eudaimonia literally means “having a good guardian spirit.”

•Judgmental happiness. In this case, the word “happiness” is followed by words like “about” or “for” or “that.” Your child might be happy about going to the park. She might be happy for a friend who just got a dog. This involves making a judgment about the world, not in terms of some transient subjective feeling but as a source of potentially pleasurable feelings, past, present, or future.
