(Although the Chicken Soup type of books are not about gratitude, per se, it is good to read books with stories of people succeeding, sometimes over all odds, and those with "happy" stories.  Although some people consider these corny, they can be quite inspirational and illuminating.  The most famous series is The Chicken Soup For The Soul books.)
