Those who achieve a lot professionally/outwardly are more often than not lacking seriously in some personal aspect. Most often messed up childhood with wrong/missing father figure, unhealthy competitive. I am sure everybody knows them - never staying at one place too long, never happy with anything they have/achieve, always chasing next challenge... no, thank you. Life ending in regrets later on is practically guaranteed.
Long term happiness is an art these days, being too smart is definitely not a prerequisite (more like the opposite of it). Also, I think we lack proper definition for it so people take it as some sort of nirvana levitating a meter above the ground type.
For me personally, living life that I will judge positively and without regrets on the proverbial death bed is form of long term happiness.
