Toolkit suggests something you come by via exposure not via learning (as learning is presumably facilitated by IQ).
What are the toolkits for happiness one acquires as a non high-IQ person? I guess some of these are social tools from like-minded people.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "exposure"? I'm talking about having healthy habits of thought and developing psychological resilience as laid out by the Stoics. This is done through practicing Stoic techniques such as voluntary discomfort, putting misfortunes into perspective and considering all the ways in which you have been quite fortunate. Whether you want to call this "exposure" or "learning" doesn't seem to make a difference to me.

Did you know The surprising downsides of being clever? Is Happiness And Intelligence: Rare Combination? There are longitudinal studies which seem to imply this: Being Labeled as Gifted, Self-appraisal, and Psychological Well-being: A Life Span Developmental Perspective
I found these via slashdot.
As LessWrong is harbor to unusually high-IQ people (see section B in here). I wonder how happiness compares to the mean. What are your thoughts.
