I’m reading the “Geography of Bliss” currently and must say that it is extremely engaging and well written… after a long time I’m reading something that I want to talk about. Homourous, real, very relatable and an interestig perspective…well, I’m on Iceland right now aand waiting to explore the others. As I’ve written my the personal tagline for the book – I WANT THIS JOB!!! Good work Mr. Weiner!!

of course you have to read a book before you recommend it dumbass. Would you say a movie is good without fucking seeing it or say a dessert is good without tasting it? Damn son.

Rob,
I stand corrected. Looks like a good service.

I have read excerpts from The Geography of Bliss condensed in The Boston Globe.Looking at
Weiner’s resources i found the first world map of happiness published in 2006 by Adrian White of the UK and his happiness studies to be interesting as well. No surprise, the chillier climates of Denmark and Switzerland lead followed closely by Austria, Iceland, Bahamas,Finland, Sweden and Bhutan.

I found a service like Netflix, but for books, that's much faster and has hardcover new releases, as well. It's called BookSwim.com. No due dates, no late fees, free shipping, online book pool...right up your alley. Check it out.

Hi, Aaron-
There actually is a Netflix for books– it’s called booksfree.com.
I tried it out for awhile but my experience of the service was that it was extremely slow. I canceled my account for that reason.

I recently saw Geography of Bliss and was intrigued, too. Haven’t read it yet, though.
