It's about word associations. If you write about starvation, and call it 'A tale of starvation', it's... not really telling anything other than that the writer lacks imagination. Or if you write about star-struck lovers and call it 'A tale of love', it basically says the same.

Personal advice: avoid this at all costs. Unless the title is sardonic in some way, or about the after affects of what the title might have hinted at. For example: A Tale of Loss, being about finding love and losing the bachelor's lifestyle. A Tale of Hunger, being about wanderlust, or bloodlust, or lust for battle. In other words, if you can imagine what the entire book is about just by hearing the title, then no one would want to read it.

Alternate naming suggestions:

A journey to happiness
Traversing happiness
Simple things (then as a subheader: Happiness is about perspective)

Try to be creative about what your overall theme is, and use that to your advantage.
