Do you think you are happier than past generations?

I don't know if happier is the right word, definitely more self aware.

I think it's a good thing.

can we really be happy if we're not self aware? 

I've never agreed with the statement that ignorance is bliss, it's really just hindsight bias.

self awareness both internally & externally is the starting point to finding happiness.

Is that good? What are the consequences / benefits?
