Helen Russell
À propos de cet audio
When she was suddenly given the opportunity of a new life in rural Jutland, journalist and archetypal Londoner Helen Russell discovered a startling statistic: the happiest place on earth isn't Disneyland but Denmark, a land often thought of by foreigners as consisting entirely of long, dark winters, cured herring, Lego and pastries. What is the secret to their success? Are happy Danes born or made?
Helen decides there is only one way to find out: she will give herself a year, trying to uncover the formula for Danish happiness. From child care, education, food and interior design to SAD, taxes, sexism and an unfortunate predilection for burning witches, The Year of Living Danishly is a funny, poignant record of a journey that shows us where the Danes get it right, where they get it wrong, and how we might just benefit from living a little more Danishly ourselves.
Helen Russell is a journalist and former editor of MarieClaire.co.uk. She now lives in rural Jutland and works as a Scandinavia correspondent for the Guardian as well as writing a column on Denmark for the Telegraph.

Having spent the last few years in Denmark uncovering the secrets of the happiest country in the world, Helen Russell knows it's time to move back to the UK. She thinks. Maybe. Or maybe that's a terrible idea. Like many of us, she suffers from chronic indecision and a fear of change. So she decides to give herself a year for an experiment: to overhaul every area of her life, learn how to embrace change and become a lean, mean decision-making machine.

After a long and eventful life, Allan Karlsson ends up in a nursing home, believing it to be his last stop. The only problem is that he's still in good health, and in one day, he turns 100. A big celebration is in the works, but Allan really isn't interested (and he'd like a bit more control over his vodka consumption). So he decides to escape. He climbs out the window in his slippers and embarks on a hilarious and entirely unexpected journey, involving, among other surprises, a suitcase stuffed with cash.

Listening to this was hygge
I truly enjoyed listening to this book. I loved the wit. It's informative and entertaining. The narrator is a delight, one of the best I've heard!
I can't move to Denmark, but I'm applying some of the principles to get hygge. Thanks!

Half novel half essay
It’s an interesting line navigated here, between the nice story of a novel and info and reflexion of an essay. There’s a little inbalance toward too much info and stats at some point where I lost interest. But overall it’s a very pleasant book. Almost made me want in Danemark ;)

This made me want to move to Denmark!
The author creates such a visual story that I couldn't help wanting to move to Denmark and be her neighbor so I could find out how the second year of living Danishly went for her!

Wonderful!!!!
Absolutely loved this book! Every chapter was so interesting — I feel like I have spent great quality time living amongst the danish for a year. Narration matched perfectly with the author’s storyline, as well. Helen, could you please travel to another place and live for a year so that I can learn about another country’s culture? Thank you for this wonderful book!

They should make a movie
I love the story of this book as much as the advice and insight into Danish culture. HeWould love to see a film version that focuses on the story, in an Away We Go vibe! Russell is hilarious and Price-Lewis is a delight to listen to.
