The Geography of Bliss: One Grump's Search for the Happiest Places in the World by Eric Weiner

First of all, I am in love with travel/philosophical memoirs. Secondly, I liked this guy. His stories are funny and a bit dry, and he very neatly wraps up his experiences while demonstrating that there is no good way to neatly wrap up life and happiness. It wasn't from a spiritual perspective, so in someways it wasn't helpful as personal advice-y type stuff for me, but it offered good thoughts on humanity and happiness and what it means to different people. And I want to visit the places that he visited because he made each place seem so personable!
