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."--

The age of insecurity : coming together as things fall apart / by Taylor, Astra,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."These days, everyone feels insecure. We are financially stressed and emotionally overwhelmed. The status quo isn't working for anyone, even those who appear to have it all. What is going on? In this urgent cultural diagnosis, author and activist Astra Taylor exposes how seemingly disparate crises--rising inequality and declining mental health, the ecological emergency, and the threat of authoritarianism--originate from a social order built on insecurity. From home ownership and education to the wellness industry and policing, many of the institutions and systems that promise to make us more secure actually undermine us. Mixing social critique, memoir, history, political analysis, and philosophy, this genre-bending book rethinks both insecurity and security from the ground up. By facing our existential insecurity and embracing our vulnerability, Taylor argues, we can begin to develop more caring, inclusive, and sustainable forms of security to help us better weather the challenges ahead. The Age of Insecurity will transform how you understand yourself and society--while illuminating a path toward meaningful change."--
