 Excellent described International travel experiences. October 14, 2008
Eric Weiner's book is great. It's interesting to read the cultural differences between people all over the world. The world might getting flat, our opinion about the basics of life is not equal at all. The highlights of the book are his stories about his experiences in Iceland, Moldova and Bhutan. Possible Eric can add a part II: I am curious to read about Japan, Brazil and Jamaica. Apart from "pure-pleasure-to-read", you do learn some basic elements about happiness and being happy. Thanks for this great book, Jan Johan Poelstra

Taking a trip in the back pocket of a skeptic trying to find out where and why people are happy is sheer bliss. Eric Weiner not only knows the art of description, he knows about meaningful travel and how to write a engrossing tale. The book is NEVER boring or repetitious. It moves and flows and shines. In case you can't tell, I loved it!
A Great Read September 7, 2008
I enjoyed this book, which I received as a gift. It was insightful and fun, tackling a serious topic -- what makes us happy -- without getting too philosophical or preachy. I bought this extra copy as a gift for a friend.
An engaging journey August 30, 2008
I got this book on CD from the library and listened to it on my commute back and forth to work. It was perfect for that. The commute time just flew by.
Weiner is a good story teller. The book was engaging and smart while not being too challenging to follow while trying to drive.
I thoroughly enjoyed every chapter (except maybe the first - which was needed to set the stage but a little boring).
I'd highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning about different cultures and/or exploring what it means to be happy.

I liked reading this one. The content is very superficial , yet a brief run arround the world. I must say the penmanship was not to my taste and at times disrespectful. - But I can still recommand this one!!
