The Year of Living Danishly: Uncovering the Secrets of the World's Happiest Country

* NOW WITH A NEW CHAPTER *

'A hugely enjoyable romp through the pleasures and pitfalls of setting up home in a foreign land.'- Guardian 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.
