Starred review from May 1, 2019
The latest from Russell (The Year of Living Dangerously; Gone Viking) is a tour de force, delivering unique perspectives of people from around the world and advice for how to live a happier life. From experiencing meraki (an introspective expression of care and love) in Greece to azart (passionate risk-taking) in Russia, Russell details how different cultures strive for and experience contentment. Many of the applications center on the feeling of cozy, proposing not only suggestions for more enjoyment but also background into the customs and mind-sets of the global community. VERDICT Highly recommended.
