Conclusion

My hypothesis was supported: exercises in gratitude and optimism increased my happiness score, even while being in law school. I can’t say I’m surprised, but I sure am glad I did this. One thing these exercises brought into my life was perspective, both perspective within each day and perspective for the future. It’s incredible how many things we have to be grateful for and how many of them we can find when we are consciously looking for them. It’s also incredible how much optimism, both defining your goals and making conscious decisions to work towards them, creates hope and motivation for the future.

I don't see why it is "incredible" that whistling a happy tune makes us feel happier. Because the research is conducted in such a way as not even to ask "why" questions, you don't either. A little Putnam makes that possible, and interpretation adds what cognitive behavior therapy does not, namely insight.

But we all derive immense benefit from reading one another's work, and I hope you won't feel the need unless the subject matter is personal and its disclosure would be harmful or undesirable. To restrict access to your paper simply delete the "#" character on the next two lines:
