The Geography of Bliss Author: Eric Weiner

ISBN: 9780446698894 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 345 Published: 5 January 2009 Country of Publication: US Dimensions (cm): 20.07 x 13.21 x 2.79 Description: 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 humour 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 travellers of all moods some interesting new ideas for sunnier destinations and dispositions.
