    "Filled with realistic, constructive information, this book is a useful manual for individuals and communities to take the initiative toward happier, healthier lives."
    -Publishers Weekly

    "Author Dan Buettner reveals the world’s happiest places and explains environmental and lifestyle factors that contribute to the overall happiness in these geographic regions." –The Washington Post

    “Start taking some tips from New York Times best-selling author Dan Buettner, who has spent the last 15 years studying the people around the world who are living the healthiest and happiest lives, and discovering what the rest of us can learn from them.” –Huffington Post

    “Few people bring the unique perspective…like Dan Buettner…he travels the world in search of the healthiest people and distills their lessons…translating existential philosophy into practical information for limited-attention-span U.S. readers.” –The Atlantic

    “National Geographic worked with Gallup and author Dan Buettner, whose career has focused on exploring parts of the world where people live long, happy lives, to identify and rank these cities.”
    –Travel & Leisure

    "National Geographic, Gallup and New York Times best-selling author Dan Buettner have announced the ranking of the 25 happiest cities in the United States." –Forbes

    “[Buettner’s] latest work looks at some of the world’s happiest places, including Costa Rica and Singapore, and helps glean some insight from people who hail from those happy locales.”
    –Parade

    "I am compelled to make changes in my own life and I am grateful to have this tool to
    help guide me to creating goals that will facilitate positive growth in the world I see."

    “…a great book…many eye opening moments…” –Kimleonia

    Dan’s look at various cultures’ road to happiness has broadened my thinking and allowed me to explore the world from my comfy seat on the couch.” –theminickadventures

    “In Malcolm Gladwell fashion, Buettner takes a stab at deconstructing a broad social concept, in this case, happiness, backing it up with tangible research, evidence, your own self-assessment and implementable strategies for exactly that: finding a greater happy.” –Good and Grateful

    “It’s a scientific approach to the subject, with concrete numbers and straight forward advice on how to nudge yourself into living a lifestyle that will ultimately make you happier.”
    –Thistle & Fig

    “Dan has literally traveled the globe in the pursuit of happiness. He’s talked to lots of happy folks. And he’s discovered a thing or two about what all these deliciously joyful people have in common...We are living in what may very well be one of the most dissatisfied periods in American history. But there is hope for happiness out there, and Dan shows us where to find it with intelligence, candor and lots of compassion.” –Jathan & Heather
