The Geography of Bliss: One Grump’s Search for the Happiest Places in the World Audiobook (Free)

Part travel memoir, component humor, and component twisted self-help instruction, The Geography of Bliss uses the reader across the globe to investigate not what happiness is, but WHERE it is.

Are people in Switzerland more happy because it is the most democratic country in the world? Do citizens of Qatar, awash in petrodollars, discover joy in all that cash? May be the Ruler of Bhutan a visionary for his initiative to calculate Gross Country wide Happiness? Why is Asheville, NEW YORK 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.
