Synopsis: The Atlas of Happiness is an illustrated guide to what happiness looks like around the world. From Denmark to Spain, New Zealand, and Syria, Russell profiles several cultures and shares the themes of happiness throughout many cultures.

Thoughts & Feelings: I am a big fan of Helen Russell. This book is great because, while it feels topical, the point it proves is that happiness doesn’t come from capitalism or community, but it comes from within yourself.

Rating: 4/5 Stars
