Several years ago I thoroughly enjoyed reading Eric Weiner’s book entitled The Geography of Bliss. As an urban planning professional and geography geek, I was hooked just by the subject matter.
So, when I saw that he had released a follow-up entitled The Geoography of Genius, I was excited to read the sequel. What I wasn’t expecting is how much more insightful and engaging the second book would be compared to the first one. This may have been partially due to the fact that the author was exploring this topic on the urban level versus the national. But, where Bliss was largely entertaining and intriguing, Genius is downright spellbinding in its astute, deeply probing, and thought-provoking analysis of why nodes of genius occur in certain cities at certain moments in human history.
