If you want to be closer to your friends and practice the Danish style of self-care, read this book
this started out well, but quickly became repetitive. At one point he was just listing recipes at me.
Don't read this if you are looking for an in-depth analysis of why Denmark scores so highly in happiest countries. While there are some insights, they are few and far between
3.5 stars this was a very interesting read, and I will definitely make an effort to have more hyggelig moments (I probably didn't use that word correctly).
