The paper provides survey on the typical situation in present globalized world, where a great number of population lives in surplus economies. Life conditions as well as living standards have significantly increased in comparison with the past even in the most backward regions. The question to be responded, however is, whether material abundance shares appropriate feelings of happiness and content in people's lives. We propose some interesting standpoints of professionals from different scientific branches. At the end we submit our own approach to the role of happiness in modern globlized societies.

Keywords: happy life, economic growth, dependence on consumption, economic crisis, material abundance, spiritual values, surplus economy
