Eric Weiner – The Importance of Place



2012, Cultural Studies
Presented By: Eric Weiner

Eric Weiner wants to know: where are you? He shows us the Map of World Happiness, which reveals clearly that some places are happier than others. Certain places are, for a period of time, hotbeds of genius creativity and innovation. Where does this happen, and why and when? “Whether large or small, place matters. And what matters is the way places have the power to alter our world view.”
