I really enjoyed "The Geography of Bliss" by Eric Weiner. In the book Weiner, an NPR correspondent, travels across the world to understand why people are happy or unhappy. In the process he ponders on his own happiness or lack thereof. You will do the same when you read it.
Far from a dry, scholarly sociology study, the book is totally readable and at times very, very funny. In addition to the "happiness studies" we learn a little history and a lot of culture about the various countries. We also get to know some of the people Weiner meets as he investigates his topic, and in some cases you start to care about them.
The happiest countries may not be the ones you expect and the reasons for their happiness may also come as a surprise.
This is one of those books that I highlighted and wrote on the margins - there's a lot of good information and common-sense wisdom.
I definitely recommend the book.

The only pregnancy book I recommend. Treats the mother-to-be as an intelligent stakeholder who needs to be empowered and supported. Covers a wide variety of topics, including federal laws and maternity leave, birth options, nutrition, etc.
Strongly advocates breastfeeding and attachment parenting. While I don't follow attachment parenting, per se, this book made the most sense to me.
Best recommended for those wanting something more than the drivel in "What to Expect" and similar books....less
