A beautifully illustrated dictionary of words from around the world that describe experiences of happiness for which there are no equivalents in the English language.Have you ever had a feeling that you couldn't quite describe because there was no word in English that captured it? Our ability to fully experience moments of joy in our lives can be limited by the words at our disposal.
