The Trip That Changed Me

Society & Culture


Eric Weiner, a travel correspondent for NPR, was experiencing a self-described midlife crisis when he came up with the idea for his first book: The Geography of Bliss. The project took him to the world’s most contented countries, including Bhutan, a place famous for its Gross National Happiness index. It was there he met Karma, a buddhist monk and academic who changed how Eric saw the world and how he defined happiness.  Find out more about Eric, his work and his latest projects at www.ericweinerbooks.com Join Eric for a writers workshop in Bhutan Buy Eric’s latest book  The Socrates Express
