My own solution, inspired by Simon's:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby -w

UNHAPPY = [0, 4, 16, 20, 37, 42, 58, 89, 145].freeze

happy = Hash.new do |found, num|
   digits    = num.to_s.split("").sort.delete_if { |d| d == "0" }
   happiness = digits.inject(0) { |sum, d| sum + d.to_i ** 2 }
   found[num] = if happiness == 1
     true
   elsif UNHAPPY.include? happiness
     false
   else
     found[happiness]
   end
end

(1..100_000).each { |n| p n if happy[n] }

__END__
