THE GEOGRAPHY OF BLISS is part travel memoir, part humor, and part twisted self-help guide that takes the viewer across the globe 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?

In a unique mix of travel, psychology, science and humor, Eric Weiner answers those questions and many others, offering travelers of all moods some interesting new ideas for sunnier destinations and dispositions.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"In the end, Weiner's travel tales - eating rotten shark meat in Iceland, smoking hashish in Rotterdam, trying to meditate at an Indian ashram - provide great happiness for his readers." (Publishers Weekly)

I've listened to this book multiple times and seem to get something new out of it each time. I really appreciate the author's performance of his own work. Highly recommended.

as a fellow Grump I'm a fan of this book.

I loved this listen. I’m so glad the author narrates his own book bc he sounds just as I pictured he would in my mind. This is a delightful listen, while also being interesting and absolutely full of cultural insights.

Such a fun listen

Minor frustration: chapters in audiobook don't match chapters being read
Otherwise, I loved listening to this snapshot of how many other cultures define and pursue happiness. Both gave insight to other countries views and my own countries influence on my happiness

Wonderful listen, but...

Fantastic

I can't imagine anything you could read that would shed more insight on what constitutes happiness or the search for it. Author Weiner has done his global homework here. From New Delhi to North Carolina, Weiner searches to find commonalities about what makes us happy. What he finds could possibly make us all, well, happier.

Excellent and Insightful

I thoroughly enjoyed this book which was written in NPR Story Corp fashion. The audio narration by the author created the sense that I was in each of the countries he visited.

Happiness is socially constructed

Neat little story with some interesting perspectives. Character accents are annoying, but fun overall overall.

Coool

and amusing but insightful introduction to countries that I had little knowledge of. Weiner is able to grasp the significance in the insignificant aspects of life.

amusing geography

The story would have held my interest more if the reader had been better. His voice was whiny and boring. Too many times I turned it off because I could not stand another moment of his voice. Tell Eric to stick to writing and let someone else do the reading!

Write Don't Read

The author isn't trying to convince you of anything. Just reporting the facts. Well done

Nothing preachy in this book. Awesome!
