- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5There were so many eye-opening examples of what other cultures value and how it makes each of them happy in their own way. This National Geographic journalist visits (and then highlights) 4 cities where people are ranked the happiest in the world and then uses those examples to give the reader suggestions of implementation.
If you enjoy reading about different cultures, it's a must! - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Heard the author on NPR, thought the book sounded interesting. It turned out pretty shallow but kinda interesting. He talks briefly about various studies on happiness, details, again briefly, interviews with experts on the topic, then looks at several places that studies have shown have the happiest residents. Copenhagen, Singapore, Mexico, and San Luis Obispo in California. It was a fast read. Nothing earthshaking or startling to learn. Don't think I'd especially recommend it to a library patron.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5It was an interesting book but the case studies just seemed too generic and lacked real clarity of the why.
It also seemed to lost itself in anecdotal stories rather than facts and then explain those facts to the key themes.
