Bhutan with Eric Weiner: karma, wisdom quests and the truth about happiness

from The Trip That Changed Me

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.comJoin Eric for a writers workshop in BhutanBuy Eric’s latest book The Socrates ExpressSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
