From childcare, 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.

\'A hugely enjoyable romp through the pleasures and pitfalls of setting up home in a foreign land.\'- Guardian
Given the opportunity of a new life in rural Jutland, Helen Russell discovered a startling statistic: Denmark, land oflong dark winters, cured herring, Lego and pastries, was the happiest place on earth.
Keen to know their secrets, Helen gave herself a year to uncover the formula for Danish happiness.
From childcare, education, food and interior design to SAD and taxes, The Year of Living Danishly records a funny,poignant journey, showing us what the Danes get right, what they get wrong, and how we might all live a little more Danishlyourselves.
In this new edition, six years on Helen reveals how her life and family have changed, and explores how Denmark, too - orher understanding of it - has shifted. It\'s a messy and flawed place, she concludes - but can still be a model for a betterway of living.
