Eric Weiner is a popular speaker and author of the New York Times bestseller ''The Geography of Bliss'', ''Man Seeks God,'' and the forthcoming ''The Geography of Genius''. Weiner's books have been translated into more than 20 languages. In The Geography of Genius, Weiner travels from Athens to Silicon Valley, and throughout history, to show how creative genius flourishes in specific places at specific times. Walter Isaacson, bestselling author of ''Steve Jobs'' and ''The Innovators,'' says, "Why do certain places produce a spontaneous eruption of creativity? What made Athens and Florence and Silicon Valley? This witty and fun book has an insight in every paragraph. It’s a charming mix of history and wisdom cloaked as a rollicking travelogue filled with colorful characters.” Dan Gilbert, Harvard professor and author of the bestseller Stumbling on Happiness, calls ''The Geography of Genius "''an intellectual odyssey, a traveler’s diary, and a comic novel all rolled into one. Smart, original, and utterly delightful, this is Weiner’s best book yet.” In ''The Geography of Bliss'', Weiner traveled to spots around the globe—including Iceland, Bhutan, Moldova and Qatar—to search out how different countries define and pursue happiness. In ''Man Seeks God'' he explores his spiritual restlessness and asks some fundamental questions: "Where do we come from? What happens when we die? How should we live our lives? Where do all the missing socks go?" Weiner was a longtime correspondent for National Public Radio. He spent a decade overseas for NPR, based in New Delhi, Jerusalem and Tokyo. ==Bibliography== *Ghostwriter (book series): *#A Match of Wills (1992) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eric Weiner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
