About the book
Weiner spends a year visiting places that happiness research has singled out, and a few that rank poorly, asking what actually makes people content.
His destinations include Iceland, Bhutan, Qatar, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Thailand, India, Moldova and the English town of Slough. Along the way he tests the common assumptions that money, democracy or social equality produce happiness, and finds the answers messier than the surveys suggest. The tone is wry and self-mocking, and the book sits between travel writing and popular psychology. Readers who enjoy a funny, curious companion on the road will find plenty here.
