The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner
Is happiness something we can locate on the map or is it simply a state of mind?
Have you ever wondered if you’d be happier living somewhere else? After traveling the world as a war correspondent, journalist Eric Weiner decides to visit some of the supposedly happiest places on earth to determine if there is any formula for experiencing happiness. What he discovers is both fascinating and amusing: to the Swiss, happiness means having rules and enforcing them; to Icelanders, happiness means being a failure. The King of Bhutan believes that Gross National Happiness is more important than Gross Domestic Product. Whether you read or listen to this title, you’re sure to be intrigued by the experiences of happiness in cultures around the world, and even may conclude that you’d be happier living somewhere else.
