# The Art of Danish Living: How the World's Happiest People Find Joy at Work - Hardcover

by **Meik Wiking** (Author)

**A beautiful, research-backed guide on how to work like the happiest people in the world, the Danes. From the author of the million-copy bestseller _The Little Book of Hygge._**

​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.

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"--_arbejdsgl de_. Meanwhile, the rest of the western world is struggling with a burn-out epidemic--but where are we going wrong? There is an alternative, and _The Art of Danish Living_ will provoke and inspire.
