The Year of Living Danishly: Uncovering the Secrets of the World's Happiest Country
Description
When a London journalist relocates with her family to rural Jutland, she sets out to understand why Denmark consistently ranks among the world’s happiest countries. Over the course of a year, she investigates Danish approaches to work, childcare, education, food, design, taxes, gender, and the long, dark winter—discovering both the strengths and contradictions behind the nation’s enviable reputation. Witty, curious, and warmly observant, this blend of memoir, cultural exploration, and social commentary asks whether happiness is shaped by national habits, public policy, or personal choice—and what the rest of us might learn from living a little more Danishly.
