Eric Weiner has given me great pleasure in two books, The Geography of Bliss and Man Seeks God. There is nothing better
than learning good stuff from a thoughtful person with a good sense of humor.
Toward the end of his quest it dawns on him: “God is to
religion as food is to a menu. Both the menu and the religion suggest a variety
of options, and while the waiter can make recommendations, ultimately the
choice is ours. To say you know God because you are religious is like saying
you have dined well because you read the menu.”
I can’t imagine anyone not enjoying Mr. Weiner’s books.
