Is the King of Bhutan a visionary for his initiative to calculate Gross National Happiness? Why is Asheville, North Carolina so damn happy? In a unique mix of travel, psychology, science and humor, Eric Weiner answers those questions and many others, offering travelers of all moods some interesting new ideas for sunnier destinations and dispositions.

Download or read book The Lost Continent written by Bill Bryson and published by VNR AG. This book was released on 1989 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I come from Des Moines. Somebody had to." And, as soon as Bill Bryson was old enough, he left. Des Moines couldn't hold him, but it did lure him back. After ten years in England he returned to the land of his youth, and drove almost 14,000 miles in search of a mythical small town called Amalgam, the kind of smiling village where the movies from his youth were set. Instead he drove through a series of horrific burgs, which he renamed Smellville, Fartville, Coleslaw, Coma, and Doldrum. At best his search led him to Anywhere, USA, a lookalike strip of gas stations, motels and hamburger outlets populated by obese and slow-witted hicks with a partiality for synthetic fibres. He discovered a continent that was doubly lost: lost to itself because he found it blighted by greed, pollution, mobile homes and television; lost to him because he had become a foreigner in his own country.

Book excerpt: The journey is becoming increasingly accessible. Capitalism is parallel to its height to offer a turnkey lifestyle chosen by a large part of the population. The trip offers a field of personal fulfillment through the discovery of new places, new cultures, a way of life often nomadic ...The question we can ask today? Can we finally feel free in a consumer society that encourages normalization of behavior and mass consumption to feel good. Can we feel free by remaining sedentary in a consumer society that just offers us this way of life turnkey, easily accessible without having to ask real existential questions.Travel and freedom are two closely related terms. As a traveler, one can strive for a freedom that can only be hypothetical in Western society.How to succeed to feel free in a consumer society that is not? One of the answers is in the trip. What this book deals with. The answer of the search for freedom by the journey. Stop melting into the mass, stop thinking about consumption to be happy, re-see the values of life, re-think your threshold of comfort.Traveling will indeed allow you to find a freedom, both physical and mental, in a non-sedentary lifestyle where discovery will have a primordial place in life. Adopt a minimalist attitude, seek to travel in the long term, earn money differently, so many solutions in a quest for freedom. And above all it is important not to regret missing out on strong experiences, often unforgettable, which will remain forever engraved in the memories.Through this book, I want to show that one of the best ways to feel free and to travel. And I also show you how travel can bring you a lot, compared to a classic and sedentary life.All this through seven major chapters and many themes:- Presentation- The brakes of a non-free society- Why traveling is to be free- The minimalism, the recipe of the free traveler- Now start to become free and travel- The example of the digital nomad- The other side of the coin

New York Times bestselling author of How to Travel the World on $50 a Day, Matthew Kepnes knows what it feels like to get the travel bug.

Filled with the color and perspective that only hindsight and self-reflection can offer, these stories get to the real questions at the heart of wanderlust.

Download or read book Traveling Mercies written by Anne Lamott and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2000-09-05 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the acclaimed author of Bird by Bird comes a personal, wise, very funny, and “life-affirming” book (People) that shows us how to find meaning and hope through shining the light of faith on the darkest part of ordinary life. "Anne Lamott is walking proof that a person can be both reverent and irreverent in the same lifetime. Sometimes even in the same breath." —San Francisco Chronicle Lamott claims the two best prayers she knows are: "Help me, help me, help me" and "Thank you, thank you, thank you." She has a friend whose morning prayer each day is "Whatever," and whose evening prayer is "Oh, well." Anne thinks of Jesus as "Casper the friendly savior" and describes God as "one crafty mother." Despite—or because of—her irreverence, faith is a natural subject for Anne Lamott. Since Operating Instructions and Bird by Bird, her fans have been waiting for her to write the book that explained how she came to the big-hearted, grateful, generous faith that she so often alluded to in her two earlier nonfiction books. The people in Anne Lamott's real life are like beloved characters in a favorite series for her readers—her friend Pammy, her son, Sam, and the many funny and wise folks who attend her church are all familiar. And Traveling Mercies is a welcome return to those lives, as well as an introduction to new companions Lamott treats with the same candor, insight, and tenderness. Lamott's faith isn't about easy answers, which is part of what endears her to believers as well as nonbelievers. Against all odds, she came to believe in God and then, even more miraculously, in herself. As she puts it, "My coming to faith did not start with a leap but rather a series of staggers."
