Peace of Place
The Geography of Bliss: A book by Eric Weiner
The Geography of Bliss takes the reader from America to Iceland to India in search of happiness, or, in the crabby author's case, moments of "un-unhappiness." A beguiling mixture of travel, psychology, science and humor to investigate not what happiness is, but where it is.
Are people in Switzerland happier because it is the most democratic country in the world? Do citizens of Qatar, awash in petrodollars, find joy in all that cash? With engaging wit and surprising insights, Eric Weiner answers those questions and many others, offering travelers of all moods some interesting new ideas for sunnier destinations and dispositions.

Peace by Piece: Sewing the seeds for change, one quilt at a time
Peace by Piece specializes in commissioned custom quilts with all profits donated to Doctors Without Borders. In addition to using traditional patters, I combine fabrics and images from my travels over the past 40 years. Peace by Piece represents my attempt to synthesize all of my passions—a career in medicine, a lifelong interest in art and art history, as well as foreign cultures—while supporting charitable work that I believe in.
After obtaining a bachelors and masters degree in art and art history, I decided to go to medical school and fulfill my dream of becoming a physician. I have worked for the past thirty years as a child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist while using my enjoyment of sewing to fill my own home with quilts.
