- The art of Danish living : how the world's happiest people find joy at work / by Wiking, Meik,author.;
"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."--- Subjects: Employee morale.; Job satisfaction.; Job stress; Quality of work life.; Work; Work-life balance.;

A beautiful, research-backed guide on how to work like the happiest people in the world from the CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen and bestselling author of the New York Times bestseller The Little Book of Hygge. It is well-known that the Danish have a fantastic balance of work and home life, that working late is discouraged, parental leave is split equally, and long relaxing summer holidays are the norm. They even have a word that means “happiness at work”—arbejdsglæde. All of this is true while the rest of the western world are struggling with a burn-out epidemic, so where are we going wrong? Based on a new study from The Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, which was conducted across thousands of workers and some of the biggest companies in the world, Meik's latest book reveals the main factors in our happiness at work in his most pertinant book yet.
