Synopsis
Part foreign affairs discourse, part humor, and part twisted self-help guide, this book 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 mixture of travel, psychology, science and humor 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 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 darn happy? NPR correspondent Weiner answers those questions and many others, offering travelers of all moods some interesting new ideas for sunnier destinations and dispositions.--From publisher description.

Industry Reviews
"THE GEOGRAPHY OF BLISS is lucidly and entertainingly written."
(01/20/2008)

"The operating conceit of this odyssey memoir is that the author, a professed grouch...will travel to the world's happier places to explore to what degree an individual's happiness is intertwined with a shared geography and culture."
(12/30/2007)
