What makes a nation happy? Is one country`s sense of happiness the same as another`s? In the last two decades, psychologists & economists have learned a lot about who`s happy & who isn`t. The Dutch are, the Romanians aren`t, & Americans are somewhere in between... After years of going to the world`s least happy countries, Eric Weiner, a veteran foreign correspondent, decided to travel & evaluate each country`s different sense of happiness & discover the nation that seemed happiest of all. Eric Weiner discovers the relationship between money & happiness in tiny & extremely wealthy Qatar (and it`s not a good one). He goes to Thail&, & finds that not thinking is a contented way of life. He goes to the tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, & discovers they have an official policy of Gross National Happiness! He asks himself why the British don`t do happiness? In Weiner`s quest to find the world`s happiest places, he eats rotten Icelandic shark, meditates in Bangalore, visits strip clubs in Bangkok & drinks himself into a stupor in Reykjavik. Full of inspired moments, ” The Geography of Bliss” accomplishes a feat few travel books dare & even fewer achieve: to make you happier. ...

When Richard Nisbett showed an animated underwater scene to his American students, they zeroed in on a big fish swimming among smaller fish. Japanese subjects, on the other h&, made observations about the background environment...and the different ”seeings” are a clue to profound underlying cognitive differences between Westerners & East Asians. As Professor Nisbett shows in The Geography of Thought people actually think
- & even see
- the world differently, because of differing ecologies, social structures, philosophies, & educational systems that date back to ancient Greece & China, & that have survived into the modern world. As a result, East Asian thought is ”holistic”
- drawn to the perceptual field as a whole, & to relations among objects & events within that field. By comparison to Western modes of reasoning, East Asian thought relies far less on categories, or on formal logic; it is fundamentally dialectic, seeking a ”middle way” between opposing thoughts. By contrast, Westerners focus on salient objects or people, use attributes to assign them to categories, & apply rules of formal logic to understand their behaviour.
