I am looking for the latest multidisciplinary research in happiness.
Dear Rajesh,
You pose a very broad question here are a few suggestions. There is a lot of exciting work being done on happiness. I'd suggest starting with the work of Dr. Ruut Veenhoven, a pioneer in this field. Peter Warr's book The Psychology of Happiness and Andrew Steptoe's work on Happiness and Health also come to mind. You might also browse recent issues of Journal of Happiness Studies. An Interdisciplinary Forum on Subjective Well-Being. Good luck with your work!

There are two recent articles discussing the future of happiness research in economics. Each is written by one of the most prominent scholars in the field.

Two women in the same situation: one is happy, the other is not: Also our paper on life satisfaction touches upon the happiness problem.
It's not new news, but happiness is a latent variable!
