I think it's ignorance and acceptance.

Ignorance is bliss.  And if you accept things and don't try to change them, you're probably a lot happier. 


But really, why is it a "secret?"  The secret to practicing, the secret to learning, the secret to teaching... the secret to happiness?  Why a secret?  And who's keeping the secret from whom?

True empathy would block anyone from having too much happiness.

And would you say intelligent people are less happy?
