    Sure, because they decide to be. Might make for better thinking.

    Who’s to say living in Fairyland is what would make men happy? Sounds like a realm for preschoolers. Do they have bacon cheeseburgers, endless free beer and hot women in Fairyland? 

    The straight answer to your query is we men are base creatures, our requirements are equally uncomplicated: a man who has all he needs, a good measure of what he wants, in a place he wants to be, is likely to be a happy man.  This post was edited by Don Barzini at April 18, 2018 6:23 AM MDT

    Happy brings improved physical health.  That's one.

    They do say that those who are very intelligent are more prone to depression.. the more you are aware of the world's injustices and problems, I guess the more one might worry...

    ... unless you learn to laugh at the absurdity of it all.

    Then there is also the idea that it is but a literary myth.

    Intelligence -- Happiness

    I believe that is an oxymoron.
