商品簡介
Follow the completely infuriating, utterly charming Professor Chandra as he tries to answer the biggest question of all: What makes us happy?
"Professor Chandra is as acerbic and unbending a curmudgeon as one could wish to find scowling from the pages of a novel. Brilliant, pompous, and baffled by the world outside his Cambridge study, Chandra is forced on a reluctant quest to America to find himself and his family. Searingly funny, uplifting, and wonderful."--Helen Simonson, author of Major Pettigrew's Last Stand and The Summer Before the War
Professor Chandra is an internationally renowned economist; divorced father of three (quite frankly, baffling) children; recent victim of a bicycle hit-and-run--but so much more than the sum of his parts.
In the moments after the accident, Professor Chandra doesn't see his life flash before his eyes, but his life's work. He's just narrowly missed the Nobel Prize (again), and even though he knows he should get straight back to his pie charts, his doctor has other ideas.
All this work. All this success. All this stress. It's killing him. He needs to take a break, start enjoying himself. In short, says his doctor, Professor Chandra should just follow his bliss. He doesn't know it yet but he's about to embark on the trip of a lifetime.
