to be in pursuit of ...

Hello,
I'd like to ask you if I worded this sentence correctly. I have doubts with "we are in pursuit". Somehow it doesn't sound right. Can you help me with it?

"We aren't happiest when we are in pursuit of happiness"

Thank you

Do you mean 'aren't' or 'are'? I would think that we are happiest when we are in pursuit of happiness.
