The Geography of Bliss - Likewise Book Reviews

"I may have to revisit the 5 stars in a few days, but hours after devouring this book the first time around I almost want to start from the beginning and savor it. Eric Weiner is a gifted writer, and a wonderful storyteller. I found his take on happiness incredibly refreshing and very interesting. Plus, I love a good travel memoir, especially when written by someone as astute and observant as he is. His accounts of these countries (especially Iceland, Thailand, and India) nearly made me book a plane ticket. Although I freely admit that is not a difficult feat. For someone who describes himself as a grump, I thought this book was optimistic and full of moments of pure joy."

"Excellent book for the traveler."
