The Geography of Bliss- Weiner (Book #15)

LOVED this book. There are some books that merit highlighting and re-reads, this is one of those books and I plan to buy it so I can read it and write my thoughts in the margin. Eric Weiner traveled the world particularly to some of the happiest countries in the world (and one sad one- Moldova) and did NOT give resounding conclusions. Instead he shared what he learned in a journalistic but well written prose. I found this book thought provoking and inspiring but also I felt as though I visited each country with him. He has such vivid descriptions you feel like you have traveled the world without having left your couch. Oh, and I'm moving to Iceland.
