new book: 'Geography of Bliss' - my mind on books

new book: ‘Geography of Bliss’

Written on January 7, 2008

At the bookstore today I browsed through The Geography of Bliss: One Grump’s Search for the Happiest Places in the World by Eric Weiner, a breezy, humorous sort of travelogue looking at the relationship between place and happiness. Weiner starts at the World Database of Happiness in the Netherlands, then visits Switzerland, Bhutan, Qatar, Iceland, Moldova (an example of an unhappy place), Thailand, Great Britain, India and the US.

Reviews: here, here (for the Moldovan perspective), and here.

The Author’s website includes a slideshow on Bhutan.
