Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,884
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?

The use of -gate is disappointing
Reviewed: 12-03-18
The book is pretty great. I really enjoyed it. However the author use the word -gate (such as insurance-gate or pastry-gate) frequently. GamerGate was a huge traumatic event for a lot of women who still suffer from the abuse. It feels like she’s making fun of that, or being ignorant about it so that her little joke will work.
