"Glücklich" is much stronger than "Zufrieden" and thus mostly not a general state of being in my opinion. People generally use it do denote that they felt extremely happy in a certain situation or span of time. "Zufrieden" on the other hand means "being content", there are good and bad things in your life, but you generally think you're in a good spot and are satisfied with it. Accordingly you can also use "Zufrieden" when a task was accomplished and you think it turned out fine, which does not work with "glücklich".
Some common expressions:
So glücklich wie bei der Geburt meiner Tochter war ich noch nie in meinem Leben.
Meine Zeit in Kanada war die glücklichste in meinem Leben
Ich bin mit meiner neune Arbeit ganz zufrieden.
Sie ist ein Mensch, der mit sehr wenig zufrieden ist.
