This could have been titled, glimpses of humanity. It's not only about happy little stories, but also about the roughest moments one can go through in ones existence. I was little by little invited to admire their stories, and even appreciate my lot of the big human adventure. It's a book about gratitude and self-satisfaction, a book about the present. 
If there's one lesson to learn from this audiobook it is to live in the present to be happy, and to be oneself. Which reminded me of a statement that I read a few years ago : " ..To be happy is to be oneself... Happiness has to start within us. God created us with a primordial nature, that was combined with joy and happiness, paradisaical happiness is a right.. Once we know who we are, we are happy.." this author went so far so as to relate levels of consciousness to levels of happiness.. I couldn't agree less, however, happiness in itself can't be the opposite of melancholy, or any other emotion. 
By the end of the book, it seemed to me as if being unhappy, is just another synonym for not being grateful.
