Didn't she say that you define your own happiness and that it is not governed by other people's definitions?

I believe her philosophy in a nutshell boils downs down to indiviualism.

But most people confuse individualism with subjectivism, which is really a kind of anti-individualism. Hedonism, for example, is a subjectivist philosophy. Objectivism is radically anti-hedonism.
