Travel serves as a canvas onto which we project our deepest desires and needs: escape, relaxation, meaning, connection, edification, cultural education, and more. Author Jaime L. Kurtz's fifteen years of scientific research offers tremendous insight into how we might better extract happy, grateful moments from both everyday life and from more extraordinary experiences like travel. In
The Happy Traveler, she will explore little-known strategies to make better travel decisions, and ultimately, better life decisions, brought to life through the stories she has collected and analyzed from hundreds of research participants.
