The most easier element can be modify is personality.
The most difficulty element is society.
Location means migration.
Times means getting older.

When you are unhappy, try adjust above elements, the happiness may change. 

Tim, just to clarify the title, "happiness" is the name of a state of mind. We cannot "be," as you put it, that name. The title should read, "How can we be happy?"

Gratitude is the key to 'happiness'

Roof, no matter how humble.  Shelter. Protection from the elements, initially.  Bonus is a semblance of privacy.  Somewhere to sleep in relative safety.  Somewhere to keep your stuff

Food.  Drink.  Don't have to be elaborate.  Enough to sustain life.  Bonus is cleanliness, taste

Clothing.  Simple is fine

If you have people and pets with which to share your life, you're blessed

Something in which to believe

Access to medical/dental assistance

Safety, personal and other

Good health is luxury beyond price

Sufficient funds to sustain your own and loved-ones lives

Clean air, water, food

Luxuries, bonuses: books, access to internet, art materials, greenery, garden, friends, acceptance within society/community, freedom to move around unmolested and unthreatened


Recognition of how fortunate one is to have the above is reason for sincere gratitude which then imparts sensation of happiness

THREAD TITLE;

Q.
How we can be happiness?



A.
Love God      [...the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob].



Don't believe me ?

Want to brush aside what i said, as 'trash' ?

OK.

Go your own way.

And walk your own path.
....just like almost all people do.

Q.
And how is that working out for the majority of mankind ???

Duh!

Psalms 119:2
Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.


Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.


Isaiah 48:17
Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
18  O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:


Psalms 25:12
What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

PZ547,

I recommend this audio file [below] to you, which explains extraordinarily plainly, WHO YAHWEH IS.

The knowledge of who God is, is way above me.

But the content of this audio file is the most plausible and clear explanation i have come across of who God is, and it gives a satisfactory solution, to your query...

And, it is wholly a scriptural based explanation too!

Psalms 82:1
God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
2  How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3  Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4  Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5  They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6  I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7  But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8  Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
