Where in the world were you the happiest, and why?
That’s the question
asked by this year’s selection for Campus
Reads for the 2019-2020 Fall and Spring Academic year
Eric Weiner, self-described “Grump”, takes readers on his sojourn
The Geography of Bliss
Traveling to ten different countries (including America), Weiner asks what makes the residents happy, or in some cases unhappy. His humorous and informative approach examines everything between the extremes, from Iceland (happy) to Moldova (miserable), and asks questions of the individual as well as taking the social perspective. Is happiness cultural, economic or political? Can national leadership ensure happiness for its citizens, or is it only an individual choice?
We have provided a world map in the BLRC, and many of our students have already placed a pin in their happiest spot, and shared their memories of why they were happy there.
Please, stop by and place a pin in your own location of happiness.
