The art of Danish living : how the world's happiest people find joy at work / Meik Wiking.
"Meik Wiking has been called the Indiana Jones of Happiness. He is globally revered as an expert in happiness and has spent the last decade researching the factors that impact on our happiness after setting up the world's very first Happiness Research Institute. It is well known around the world that the Scandinavian countries 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"-arbejdsgl{aelig}de. All of this is true, and more, while most people at work in western countries are struggling to strike a balance between home and work, which has led to a burn-out epidemic. This has fascinated Meik and his team at the institute in Copenhagen and they have teamed up with a global tech company to run a huge piece of research, collecting data from thousands of people across multiple countries, to look at how our work is affecting our happiness. Meik's next uplifting book will be based on the results of that research, revealing what actually makes us happy at work, how we can all learn from that to reduce stress, increase positivity, and work like the happiest people on earth."-- Provided by publisher.
