The journey to happiness

The book "Geography of a bliss" is written by the author Eric Weiner. In this book the author Weiner tells us the stories of his trips in the search of happiness. We're going to look into chapter 3. In this chapter Mr. Weiner goes to Bhutan, which is supposed to be the happiest place on earth.

I believe that happiness is relative. It all depends of what's your definition of happiness. The author in this book is looking for the happiest place on earth. For me there's no happiest place on earth. Happiness isn't found in a place it's more of something we feel when we're with the people we love and doing the things we like.

I remember when I lived a few years ago in Texas. People there used to asked how was life in an island and they all thought that because Puerto Rican lived in an island and everything is so pretty that they're happy all the time. I mean yes Puerto Rico is beautiful, but we have all the same problems people do in the states.

For me happiness is where my family is. Happiness is just being around family , is celebrating christmas, going to the beach. It all depends on how we're feeling and what we want to do. Maybe one day you can go to the beach and have an awesome day. Then you can comeback the same day , to the same beach with the same stuff and not have the same fun you had yesterday. This is way a think happiness is relative from person to person.

  1. I agree with you, happiness is where family is. Puerto Rico may have problems, in government and in economy, but if we are surrounded by the family, we can be happy and find the happiness in our lifes.

  2. I agree when you say that there is no happiest place on earth, but there is happiness in being surrounded by loved ones.
