Description
The whole world is going crazy about “Hygge,” but is Scandinavian philosophy really so perfect? Read an honest book about the real Scandinavians: you’ll learn the truth about their lives and understand why the Scandinavian countries became so successful economically and socially.

English journalist Michael Booth lived in the Scandinavian countries for more than 10 years and came to the conclusion that the world over-idealizes these countries.

Booth describes the Danes, Swedes, Finns, Norwegians, and Icelanders, explores their quirks and shortcomings, and paints a darker picture of Scandinavian reality than everyone is used to thinking.

Why are the Danes happy if they have such high taxes?

What do Norwegians spend their incredible wealth on?

Is it true that the Finns have the best education system in the world?

Are Icelanders really so суров (strictly harsh)?

Why do all of them hate the Swedes?
