great entertainment

This is one of the most entertaining books I've ever read. I was intrigued by the premise of a grumpy guy trying to find the place in the world where people were happiest, but the real pleasure of the book (as it is of life) is not the goal but the journey. Weiner's writing is infused with an observant wit that kept me constantly entertained. I found the book so enjoyable that I tried to read it as slowly as possible because I didn't want it to end. Now that I've finished it, I think I'll read it again.


Great single liners through out the book

It was a fun read with memorable writing through out.
It was hard to put down once started.

The Geography of Bliss: OPne Grupm's Search for the Happiest Places in the World

Used book arrived in excellent condition, on time delivery, and a very pleaant way to shop.






Part foreign affairs discourse, part humor, and part twisted self-help guide, The Geography of Bliss takes the reader from America to Iceland to India in search of happiness, or, in the crabby author's case, moments of "un-unhappiness." The book uses a beguiling mixture of travel, psychology, science and humor to investigate not what happiness is, but where it is. Are people in Switzerland happier because it is the most democratic country in the world? Do citizens of Qatar, awash in petrodollars, find joy in all that cash? Is the King of Bhutan a visionary for his initiative to calculate Gross National Happiness? Why is Asheville, North Carolina so damn happy? With engaging wit and surprising insights, Eric Weiner answers those questions and many others, offering travelers of all moods some interesting new ideas for sunnier destinations and dispositions. (2007)
