Part travel memoir, part humor, and part twisted self-help guide, The Geography of Bliss takes the reader across the globe to investigate not what happiness is, but WHERE it is.

Are people in Switzerland happier because it is the most democratic country in the world? Do citizens of Qatar, awash in petrodollars, find joy in all that cash? Is the King of Bhutan a visionary for his initiative to calculate Gross National Happiness? Why is Asheville, North Carolina so damn happy?

In a unique mix of travel, psychology, science and humor, Eric Weiner answers those questions and many others, offering travelers of all moods some interesting new ideas for sunnier destinations and dispositions.

My cat used it right away!
Size: 20.0"L x 20.0"W x 6.0''TH, Style: Round, Pattern Name: Bed
My large long-hair orange cat is a bed hoarder. He has at least 5 or 6 beds around the house, and uses every one of them (at different times, of course). But lately he's started sleeping on my pillow during the day, but going to bed at night on a pillow covered in his long orange hair wasn't cutting it for me. So I purchased one more bed for him - because heaven help me if I should move one of his other beds. What we won't do for our babies! Anyway, I put this new bed near my pillow and he's been using the bed instead of my pillow. It's soft and the bolsters are thick and it's just the right size for him to curl up in! He loves it! Win-win!

Lopsided, but works
Size: 20.0"L x 20.0"W x 6.0''TH, Style: Round, Pattern Name: Bed
It's soft and good cat size. The bottom stuffing is uneven, so it leans a lot, no matter how I rotate it for the cat to try to even it out. But the old cat loves it, especially since it's positioned in a perfect spot; a "corner" by a hallway, so it feels safe, while letting the cat see everything from that out of the way vantage point. I've been trying to get him to use beds again (had to throw some out b/c he gets seizures which can result in loss of bladder control). It only took a few days for him to "discover" the new bed, and start adding it to his nap rotations. and he looks so cute in it.

heavy duty quality
Color: Georgia Bulldogs
Bought for friends. They have a dog that will gnaw and chew on anything. This was very durable and lasted with constant chewing and playing.
