DOWNLOAD EBOOKWe construct our reality by telling stories. When faced with something that is inconsistent with our story, we most often find ways to reframe it, construe it to our convenience, or dismiss it. Yet sometimes events take place that differ so profoundly from our story that the entire thing seems in danger of collapsing. When the banking crisis hit Iceland in 2008, the country fell into a deep recession. Its citizens also found themselves in a ?cultural crash?, as their collective reality turned out to be an illusion. Rosie Heinrich constructs a meta-dialogue containing the building blocks of a story that she combines with a tangible cultural landscape: images of sand, clay, lava, rock, and pigment.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat makes a nation happy? Is one country's sense of happiness the same as another's? In the last two decades, psychologists and economists have learned a lot about who's happy and who isn't. The Dutch are, the Romanians aren't, and 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 and evaluate each country's different sense of happiness and discover the nation that seemed happiest of all. ·He discovers the relationship between money and happiness in tiny and extremely wealthy Qatar (and it's not a good one) ·He goes to Thailand, and finds that not thinking is a contented way of life. ·He goes to the tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, and 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 and drinks himself into a stupor in Reykjavik. Full of inspired moments, The Geography of Bliss accomplishes a feat few travel books dare and even fewer achieve: to make you happier.
