10 secrets of the happiest people in the world

Summary

For decades Denmark has ranked at the top of the world’s happiness surveys. How is it that these 5.6 million Danes are so content when they live in a country that is dark and cold nine months of the year and where income taxes are at almost 60 percent? Interweaving anecdotes and research, Rydahl explores how the values of trust, education, and a healthy work-life balance with purpose contribute to a “happy” population
