The Happiest Moment of Your Life: True Stories from a Journey to Every Country in the World (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780593995044)

A book to lift your spirits: inspiring stories of people's happiest moments from a journey to every country in the world

It is said that fewer people have visited every country in the world than have been to space.

On May 30, 2025, Michael Angelo Zervos became one of them.

In every country he visited he asked a simple question: What is the happiest moment of your life?

This is not another step-by-step guide to happiness. What it offers instead are stories plucked from the thousands of people he met around the world, from the shores of the island nation of Tuvalu to the snow-capped mountains of Bolivia to the barbed-wire gates of North Korea.

Embedded in their answers are entire worldviews: philosophies of suffering and joy, of fate and agency, of love, loss, and survival.

This book will help you discover, as Michael did in his travels, the many forms that happiness takes and what we have in common with people across borders and from all walks of life. And it will show you that happiness is possible, wherever and whoever you are.
