才 has many meanings in different contexts, in here, it is :[A: condition] + [才 (only then)] + [B: subsequent statement]--> "才" indicates: "must meet a condition first, then the subsequent statement can stand"

[这样] [更容易] [获得幸福]。

[This way] [easier to] [obtain happiness]

This way is easier to obtain happiness

~

[这样] [**才**] [更容易] [获得] [幸福]。

[This way] [**only then**] [easier to] [obtain happiness]

**Only** this way **then**, be easier to obtain happiness

Another example:

二十一歲算成年 = 21 years old is considered an adult

二十一歲[才]算成年 = [only] 21 years [then], be considered an adult (you have to be 21, then be considered an adult)
