About this listen

In The Happy Traveler: Unpacking the Secrets of Better Vacations, psychology professor Dr. Jaime Kurtz applies the large and ever-growing body of research on happiness and decision-making to enhance the experience of travel. An avid explorer, study abroad instructor, teacher, and happiness researcher, Dr. Kurtz shows how anyone who has a vacation in his or her future can create the most meaningful, fulfilling, and joyful experiences possible. When the price of travel is daunting, getting the most "bang for your buck", both financially and emotionally, is essential to an ideal travel experience. With a sense of humor and adventure, Dr. Kurtz provides guidance on how to craft your perfect trip, boost your excitement before your trip even begins, and actively immerse yourself in a new culture while unplugging from your technological ties to home. She also explains how to best cherish and share travel moments, how to ease back into your daily life upon returning, and how to carry the secrets of happy travel into every day.

Research interesting but tedious at times. Despite that learned a lot about enhancing travel, & everyday life as well. Narration is great. Liked hearing about the author's personal experiences.

I read this before a week vacation. And planned it based on some of the studies. The vacation was a success. I wish there were more like it on everyday living

Loved it

This is a good book for young adults with little or no travel experience. It would be a nice gift for a college grad.
