At some point in life, a writer can feel compelled to travel the world in search of a big bold idea to write about. Eris Weiner decides to do just that, throwing caution to the wind in pursuit of the happiest places on earth. So you are thinking... really (??) how hard could that be, tripping through countries in search of happy. Eric, who admits to being a gloomy person generally, starts in Holland - the model of tolerance and liberalism - to find that the Dutch aren't exceptionally happy. His real quest begins as Weiner attempts to answer what makes happiness and how do cultures find it, express it, and measure it? From Iceland to Thailand, through big and small countries with great extremes of wealth and resources, Eric finds unique interpreations of happiness in every land. Thoughtfull written and humorous, his writing strives for real understanding of all peoples' search for happiness. This is a wonderful read for travelers of places and ideas. - Marilyn Smith |
