Unhappy people living in profoundly unstable states, he notes, inspire pathos and make for good copy, but not for good karma. So weiner, admitted grump and self-help book aficionado, undertook a year's research to travel the globe, looking for the "Unheralded happy places." The result is this book, equal parts laugh-out-loud funny and philosophical, a journey into both the definition of and the destination for true contentment.
