I'm always concerned when I see these types of studies that the conclusions drawn from them will lead to "cures" that are worse than the disease. God help us should we ever succeed in eliminating all the challenges of life - we'll evolve into spineless blobs.
I agree that joy is obtained when one is true to who they are - but there is a much larger debate in the definition of one's "true self." Some would say that one's true self is defined by their creator. Others must determine some alternative way to define that self. I suggest that without being defined by a creator, then it is impossible to know one's purpose - or even to believe there can be a purpose. And if you do believe in purpose, then it is inevitable that you have to serve someone's purpose. Like Bob Dylan sang - "you gotta serve somebody."
Intelligence is worthless without a heart to use it lovingly, and even then, it has no direct correlation to wisdom. It is wise to use intelligence lovingly, but it is also wise to use money lovingly. Intelligence is simply a resource while wisdom is a quality.
Furthermore, you must define "happiness." Happiness is simply a feeling, while joy is a quality, like wisdom. Intelligence and happiness are circumstantial and transient while wisdom and joy are qualities that can be nurtured and cultivated in one's character.
