How would you describe your current level of happiness and what would need to change to increase it?

This week I am joined by award-winning journalist and bestselling author, Eric Weiner, to explore the many themes of his book The Geography of Bliss: One Grump's Search for the Happiest Places in the World, and explore what it means to be happy.

If you want to transform your outlook and increase your happiness, then you don’t want to miss this episode. Eric shares stories from his time spent as a foreign war correspondent during the rise of the Taliban, his decision to leave behind a successful career at NPR, lessons from traveling the world to write his first book, and so much more.

How does traveling make you a better version of yourself? I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope you will share them by sending me an audio message.
