Wellbeing is often cited as being the same as happiness.  I can see the reasons why……laughing and smiling people tend to be positive, content and feel good.  But is that the same as wellbeing?  I would argue not.  I absolutely agree that happiness is integral to wellbeing.  But this is a chicken or the egg situation. Does happiness lead to good wellbeing or the other way round?
