The Year of Living Danishly: Uncovering the Secrets of the World's Happiest Country is by Helen Russell. Russell leaves her job as a British journalist when her husband is offered his dream job with LEGO. The couple moves to Denmark. Russell determines to discover why Denmark consistently rates as the happiest country in the world. Her examination is fair and covers everything from taxes, religion, sexual freedom, equality, weather, food, and of course, tradition. This memoir of her first year in Denmark is charming and funny, yet makes you think about what happiness really is.
Ratings: 11th grade - 8 out of 10 - AC (some mature thematic content).
