Description: A beautiful, research-backed guide on how to work like the happiest people in the world, the Danes
It is well known that the Danes have a fantastic work-life balance, that working late is discouraged, parental leave is split equally, and long summer holidays are the norm. They even have a word meaning "happiness at work"--arbejdsglæde. Meanwhile, the rest of the western world is struggling with a burn-out epidemic--but where are we going wrong? Based on a new study from the Happiness Research Institute, Meik Wiking reveals the main factors that build happiness at work--purpose, trust, relationships, balance, and more--to show how we can reduce stress, increase productivity, and find fulfillment, both in and out of work.Brief description: Meik Wiking is a happiness researcher and founded the world's first Happiness Research Institute in 2013, in Copenhagen, Denmark.
