The Geography of Bliss: One Grump's Search for the Happiest Places in the World
by Eric Weiner

Eric Weiner takes readers on a whirlwind tour of countries that are quietly pursuing the most American of obsessions - the pursuit of happiness - or, in the crabby author's case, moments of "un-unhappiness."

Weiner doesn't profess to know what happiness is, but with a beguiling mixture of psychological insight, scientific research, geopolitical analysis and wry humor, he successfully shows us where happiness is.

Are people in Switzerland happier because it's the most democratic country in the world? Do citizens of Singapore benefit psychologically by having their options limited by the government? 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.
