The Geography of Bliss: A Global Hunt for Happiness

What if happiness isn't something we find within ourselves but something we discover in particular places? This question haunted Eric Weiner, a self-described "grump" and former NPR correspondent who had spent years reporting from the world's most troubled regions. After consuming countless self-help books claiming happiness lies inside us, he wondered: what if they're wrong? What if happiness is actually out there, in specific locations with particular cultural conditions? This radical premise launched Weiner on a year-long global expedition to uncover the world's happiest places - not tourist paradises, but nations rich in the ingredients of wellbeing. His journey took him from the scientific happiness databases of the Netherlands to the contentment of Switzerland, from the wealth of Qatar to the spiritual mindfulness of Thailand, and through many places in between. Along the way, he discovered that happiness takes radically different forms across cultures, challenging our most fundamental assumptions about what makes life worth living.
