The Geography of Bliss
Eric Weiner’s “The Geography of Bliss” is a witty, insightful journey through the world’s happiest places. As a self-proclaimed “grump,” Weiner’s quest to understand joy is both hilarious and touching. From the serene streets of Bhutan to the raucous pubs of Iceland, he explores cultural attitudes towards happiness with a skeptic’s eye and a traveler’s heart. His observations are sharp, his prose engaging, and his conclusions surprisingly profound. It’s a book that’ll make you laugh, think, and maybe even book a flight.
