À propos de cet audio

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 child care, 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.

Helen Russell is a journalist and former editor of MarieClaire.co.uk. She now lives in rural Jutland and works as a Scandinavia correspondent for the Guardian as well as writing a column on Denmark for the Telegraph.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"A lovely mix of English sensibility and Danish pragmatism. Helen seems to have understood more about the Danish character than I have! My only worry is that it will make everyone want to have a go and my holiday home area will get overcrowded." (Sandi Toksvig)
"Russell is possessed of a razor-sharp wit and a winning self-deprecation - two of the things that make this book such a delight." ( The Independent)

I truly enjoyed listening to this book. I loved the wit. It's informative and entertaining. The narrator is a delight, one of the best I've heard!

I can't move to Denmark, but I'm applying some of the principles to get hygge. Thanks!

Listening to this was hygge

It’s an interesting line navigated here, between the nice story of a novel and info and reflexion of an essay. There’s a little inbalance toward too much info and stats at some point where I lost interest. But overall it’s a very pleasant book. Almost made me want in Danemark ;)

this is a cute book. I liked the humour interlaced with the educational content about Denmark. It kept my interest all the way through. It’s also makes you stop and reflect what’s important in life. A good calming read. i’d recommend.

This book is happy and peaceful. I enjoyed listening to it a lot! Not only its a privet story of a real family and their move from England to Denmark, it is also story about the way people live and how living in one country or another can affect you. Its a story about how grass might be greener on the other side,but only you can decide to be happy by being grateful about things you have vs things that you don't. Happiness comes to those who look for it.

A happy book

Think I want to be a viking now. I'm always happy to sing for any reason, sneggles sound fabulous and who wouldn't want to go to a street party with a Top Gun theme where they toss out bottles of beer.

Denmark revealed as strange and wonderful
