How is happiness obtained?

Looking at Inner Contentment by Dalai Lama and Cutler and J.Coles song Love Yours, the authors of both of these texts make various claims about what can and what cannot make a person happy. Keeping in mind the implications and arguments made in these texts, plus at least one additional external text, how does a person obtain happiness?
