thanks! How the new science of gratitude can make you happier

I just started reading this book today. I understand that I have been practicing gratitude and I am immensely happier today than I have been in a long time, if ever. I have questions though... Why isn't it easier to be happy? Why did I have to "discover" gratitude first? What is going on with society, families, mothers, women, etc., that we are so unhappy, many times without even consciously understanding it?

Anyway, I get that these questions are not necessarily original but I am embarking on a journey to form some new ones - and hopefully, to push the study, and practice, of happiness a bit further...

...Or, at least, to be happier myself and extend that happiness to the ones I love the most.
