Hector is very good at treating patients in need of his help. But he can’t do much for those who are simply dissatisfied with life, and that is beginning to depress him. When a patient tells him he looks in need of a vacation, Hector takes a trip around the world to learn what makes people happy—and sad. As he travels from Paris to China to Africa to the United States, he lists his observations about the people he meets. Is there a secret to happiness, and will Hector find it? Hector’s journey ventures around the globe and into the human soul.

I decided to listen to this as I had watched the movie on Netflix and LOVED it. So I figured I would really enjoy the book. This was one of those very rare cases when I actually enjoyed the movie more than the book.
To start off he starts his trip by sleeping with someone, while having a girlfriend. I realize some people may not consider this to be a big deal, and they were boyfriend and girlfriend, not married. But I wasn't a fan of that. He goes on to sleep with on other girl later in the book. And he constantly keeps bringing up the first girl he sleeps with, even though they had spent very little time together. In the movie he didn't sleep with anyone, and I preferred the ending in the movie then that of the book.
There were just some odd lines as well. My husband said it was originally written in French so many the English translations are odd at times? I'm not sure.
It's not the worse book I have ever read. There were a lot of things I liked about it, and quotes that I wrote down that I really liked. But this is one of those rare cases when I think you are just better off seeing the movie.
