The Geography Of Bliss

The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner is a witty and insightful travel memoir that explores the connection between geography and happiness. As a self-proclaimed grump and longtime foreign correspondent for NPR, Weiner sets out on a year-long journey across the globe to discover why some countries are happier than others. From the cheerful streets of Denmark to the contemplative hills of Bhutan, the chaotic joy of India to the structured serenity of Switzerland, Weiner blends travel writing, psychology, and humor to examine how culture, values, and place influence our sense of well-being. Part personal quest, part cultural investigation, The Geography of Bliss offers a thought-provoking and often hilarious look at what it means to live a good life.
