About this product
Product Information
When she was suddenly given the opportunity of a new life in rural Jutland, journalist and archetypal Londoner Helen Russell discovered a startling statistic: the happiest place on earth isn't Disneyland, but Denmark, a land often thought of by foreigners as consisting entirely of long dark winters, cured herring, Lego and pastries.What is the secret to their success? Are happy Danes born, or made? Helen decides there is only one way to find out: she will give herself a year, trying to uncover the formula for Danish happiness. From childcare, education, food and interior design to SAD, taxes, sexism and an unfortunate predilection for burning witches, The Year of Living Danishly is a funny, poignant record of a journey that shows us where the Danes get it right, where they get it wrong, and how we might just benefit from living a little more Danishly ourselves.Product Identifiers

Super humorous
If you love Denmark as I do, but come from the UK, you will understand the Danes a little better (or be further baffled...) and with some splendid humour from the author. Read and cry and laugh out loud funny and scratch your head in amazement. I know I did. Thanks a bunch Helen Russell og Tak for en findt bog!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
