The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner

Editor's Pick

The Geography of Bliss

Eric Weiner

Part foreign affairs discourse, part humor, and part twisted self-help guide, The Geography of Bliss takes the listener from America to Iceland to India in search of happiness, or, in the crabby author's case, moments of "un-unhappiness." The book uses a beguiling mixture of travel, psychology, science and humor to investigate not what happiness is, but where it is.

China Road

Rob Gifford

There's nothing better than hitting the open road while listening to a great book. Looking for some recommendations? Why not listen to National Public Radio China correspondent Rob Gifford's account of traveling six weeks on Route 312, the Chinese Mother Road. China Road draws on Gifford's twenty years of observing first-hand this rapidly transforming country, as he travels east to west, from Shanghai to China's border with Kazakhstan. As he takes the reader on this journey, he will also take us through China's past and present while he tries to make sense of this complex nation's potential future.
