I‘ve had this on my Litsy TBR for awhile, finally got around to the audiobook, narrated by author. Think I mainly wanted to read it because of the travel, & I definitely enjoyed hearing about different cultures, traditions, & lifestyles. A lot of the people interviewed by the author were interesting. I really liked the grandmother in Moldova. Amusing at times. The parts about happiness were good but not as interesting to me. 3.75⭐️

#IdiomInsight

The idiom #IgnoranceIsBliss means that a lack of knowledge equals an absence of concern. The term developed from Ode On A Distant Prospect Of Eton College, a poem by Thomas Gray with the lines: “No more where ignorance is bliss / Tis folly to be wise.”

This book has been in my physical TBR for ages & so I don‘t know how or if ignorance or intelligence play into the author‘s findings on the most blissful places in the 🌎.

Eggs Well it sounds really good 💙🩵💙 14mo

Eric Weiner sets off to explore “the happiest places on earth”. His travel itinerary was not what I would have expected. How do you measure a country‘s happiness quotient? Lots of factors — some expected, some not-so-expected. Somewhere between a pick and a so-so for me.

Graywacke I felt the same when i read this, but it‘s hung around in my head. 1y

The weather today has been super yucky, so I spent a stormy hour in Barnes and Noble. Came away with these. I'm really excited about the top two. I love memoirs. Especially travel ones.

TEArificbooks Rainy days are the best to go the book store. A perfect pairing, like popcorn and movies. My kids love rainy days because we stop homeschooling and go to the bookstore or library. They get all excited for no school but Jokes on them though, because they are still learning 2y
Traci1 @JenReadsAlot I'd never heard of him, but I think from just reading a little of the book so far I'm going to agree with you. 2y
Traci1 @TEArificbooks I was with my older kids, and they both said we need to stay in here til it stops raining. We'd probably still be there if we'd done that, but we did give it a good try. 😄 2y

I‘m pretty happy, just visited St Croix last week, gorgeous island. Will find out if the author found the happiest place in the world.

steph_phanie Oh I am interested in your review! This was recommended by my former study abroad program this week and I thought about adding it to my TBR! 2y
Ladygodiva7 @steph_phanie I liked the book, there were very interesting observations how each country the author visited lived, behaved and interacted with each other. And of course finding out if they‘re happy living there or what makes them happy. You would probably learn a thing or two from this book. 2y
steph_phanie @Ladygodiva7 Thank you for sharing your thoughts!! 2y

Entertaining writing, but still not sure what the point of this book was.

Finally finished my January #DoubleSpin book! @TheAromaofBooks

I think I would've appreciated this read more if we weren't in a global pandemic and I was able to travel (I miss it so much ?), but I liked his insights into different cultures and what made them "happy."

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 4y
