Abstract	The crisis that began in 2008 in Greece was not simply a financial crisis but a multiple and plural crisis. This multiple crisis has had a profound impact on people's well-being and happiness, reaching far beyond the losses of jobs and income, and affecting citizens' satisfaction with their lives. This paper attempts, through a bottom-up approach and using focus group interviews, to give sixteen secondary school students the opportunity to reflect on their experiences of and insights into the impact of the crisis on their well-being and happiness, to discuss their views on education and the notion of happiness at the time of the crisis, and to share their thoughts on the role which education can play in student happiness attainment. In this attempt, Boudieu's theoretical concepts and, in particular, 'habitus' are used as the main conceptual and methodological tools to help us explain, analyse and develop a holistic understanding of students' lived, embodied, affective experiences and views about happiness in contemporary Greece--a goal that goes beyond the habitual use of habitus in educational research.
