I strongly suspect that education / brainwashing to convince people to be happy with their lot in life often works, producing people who are genuinely happy, to the extent that happiness can be quantified and compared.
Why, how, when does it work?
Too many such complacent people prevents a society (and individuals) from self-improving. Too few might (this is a big if) cause an unstable society full of civil unrest and (tautologically) unhappiness.
