What makes a nation happy? Is one country's sense of happiness the same as another's? In the last two decades, psychologists and economists have learned a lot about who's happy and who isn't. The Dutch are, the Romanians aren't, and Americans are somewhere in between... After years of going to the world's least happy countries, Eric Weiner, a veteran foreign correspondent, decided to travel and evaluate each country's different sense of happiness and discover the nation that seemed happiest of all. ·He discovers the relationship between money and happiness in tiny and extremely wealthy Qatar (and it's not a good one) ·He goes to Thailand, and finds that not thinking is a contented way of life. ·He goes to the tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, and discovers they have an official policy of Gross National Happiness! ·He asks himself why the British don't do happiness? In Weiner's quest to find the world's happiest places, he eats rotten Icelandic shark, meditates in Bangalore, visits strip clubs in Bangkok and drinks himself into a stupor in Reykjavik. Full of inspired moments, The Geography of Bliss accomplishes a feat few travel books dare and even fewer achieve: to make you happier.

Adventures in 86 countries. Intelligence Officer in Germany during the Cold War. Vietnam-era U.S. Army veteran. Diplomat. Corporate President at age 40. Fatherhood. Grief after the death of his wife of 40 years and the death of his son at age 48 when he wrote, “Grief is a temporary insanity that the sane can barely imagine” and finding love again later in life, “I feel lucky that the magic of love could happen at my age and I marvel at the capricious nature of life”. The 85-year old author remembers his life of adventure and personal accomplishment with humor and thought-provoking reflections on life and history. His inquisitive mind and descriptive writing provide an interesting reading experience. This is an adventure story, it is a love story and it is a story of grief and loss.

As the title suggests, this book is a collection of diverse short stories. Some may be related, others open a door to a whole other world. Some are dark, some are humorous. Dive into the words of sadness, joy, love and acceptance. "Endless" or as it is introduced in this book: "There was once an immortal who learned about love alone" is a series of times loosely, times closely related short stories which depict the journey of an immortal trying to understand what it means to love. This journey has many ups and downs, many twists, but in the end, do you think she'll find the answer? That is not all you'll find in this book. There might even be surprises for later, but there are also moments of inspiration and reminders that you are a special part of our beautiful world.
