For people to be happy, they must know what they want.
To be happy, people must know what they want.

Is any of them preferable over the other? If so, why? Thanks.

@Doubtful,
I like one exactly as much as I like the other. Use whichever makes you happy.

@Doubtful,
What roger said. I see no difference whatever between the two sentences, not even a subtle one.

@JTT,
Good point. Is "any" wrong? How about "is"?

Are any of them...
Are either of them...

'any' refers to 3 plus things/people.
