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?

Having spent the last few years in Denmark uncovering the secrets of the happiest country in the world, Helen Russell knows it's time to move back to the UK. She thinks. Maybe. Or maybe that's a terrible idea. Like many of us, she suffers from chronic indecision and a fear of change. So she decides to give herself a year for an experiment: to overhaul every area of her life, learn how to embrace change and become a lean, mean decision-making machine.

 The Atlas of Happiness is a charming and entertaining guide that offers listeners the chance to learn and be inspired by the "untranslatable" beliefs and unique perspectives on how to live a happier life from countries around the world. 

Frazzled mum Alice Ray likes to think she’s on top everything - she has four bags-for-life in the boot of her car for heaven's sake. But after spectacularly embarrassing herself at work, she finally gives in to her sister’s pleas to take a much-needed break. But this is not the luxury spa holiday Alice hoped for - instead, she finds herself in Denmark, in the middle of nowhere, on a ‘How to be a Viking’ getaway. Can the two sisters finally learn to get along, or will learning to embrace their inner warriors just make them better at fighting?

Als die berufstätige und hochorganisierte Mutter Alice sich von ihrer chaotischen Schwester Melissa zu einer Woche Dänemark-Urlaub überreden lässt, hat sie sich einen entspannten Aufenthalt in einem Spa vorgestellt. Aber Melissa hat eine Woche Wikingerurlaub im Wald gebucht: Hier sind Übernachten im selbstgebauten Unterschlupf und Beerensammeln fürs Abendessen. Als Alice klar wird, dass sie die kommende Woche ohne Badezimmer überstehen soll, würde sie am liebsten abreisen. Doch zu Hause warten nur Arbeit und Haushalt, und so entschließt Alice sich zu bleiben.
