    Annotation This article presents a comparative analysis of the change trends in the frequency of use of the happiness during the last two centuries in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Rus-sian languages. We investigate how the level of happiness depends on factors such as the ratio of wealth and misery, as well as the ratio of success and difficulty, according to their expression in texts. The concepts of 'happiness' and 'fortune' are also compared. We use the well-known data set Google Books Ngram, comprising 6% of all ever-published books. It is shown that even within Eu-rope happiness in different cultures is understood in different ways and distinctively depends on ex-ternal factors.
