"Given the opportunity of a new life in rural Jutland, Helen Russell discovered a startling statistic: Denmark, land of long dark winters, cured herring, Lego and pastries, was the happiest place on earth. Keen to know their secrets, Helen gave herself a year to uncover the formula for Danish happiness. From childcare, education, food and interior design to SAD and taxes, The year of living Danishly records a funny, poignant journey, showing us what the Danes get right, what they get wrong, and how we might all live a little more Danishly ourselves. In this new edition, six years on, Helen reveals how her life and family have changed, and explores how Denmark, too--or her understanding of it-- has shifted. It's a messy and flawed place, she concludes-- but can still be a model for a better way of living."--Back cover.
