Chase Fulfillment, Not Happiness

"There's More to Life than Happiness" - so says a recent article on theatlantic.com.  What do you think?  Is there?  It does seem to be frantically pursued.  Everyone is looking for that one thing that is going to make them happy.  We are told to hold on to what makes us happy and ignore or get rid of what does not make us happy.  Is this the best path for us to take?

The article I referenced above includes this quote from the book "The Meaning of Life" by Viktor Frankl.
"Everything can be taken from a man but one thing,the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way."
