Weiner, Eric
Does living in the world's most democratic country make the Swiss happier? Do citizens of Qatar find joy in all those petrodollars? Is the King of Bhutan a visionary for his initiative to calculate Gross National Happiness? Part foreign affairs discourse, part humor, and part twisted self-help guide, this book travels around the world in search of happiness, or, in the crabby author's case, moments of "un-unhappiness." Weiner blends travel, psychology, science and humor to investigate not what happiness is, but where it is. 352 pp.
