How can we find happiness...?

The search for happiness seems to be all around. I picked up a psychology magazine recently that had 13 articles on mindfullness and happiness (all written by women interestingly). We all want to be happy. Even a local school has started Happiness Classess . I agree that slowing down, being good to yourself, a walk in the woods, a beautiful sunset, eating properly, and good sleep are all important to self-care. But is that enough? Is that it? My question is: Can we be truely happy without God? Can we be fulfilled without Him? If we were made to know Him and love Him, there remains a void if we do not. Is knowing God and understanding the reason for our existence ultimate happiness? Or to put it another way - realising we are known and loved by God makes us happy. Can anything else compare? No pretending, no hiding, no putting on a brave (or happy) face, no chocolate. Just being loved...
