There is life before quitting time. We spend more time at work than at home. If we are not happy there, it becomes difficult to lead a truly happy life. That’s why we urgently need to take care of our happiness at work. Scandinavians are the happiest people in the world. What are they doing right? And what can we learn from them? Maike van den Boom packed her bags and traveled through Scandinavia for six months, speaking with construction workers, nurses, and executives, as well as German guest workers, interviewing experts and people on the street. What she discovered were happy, brave, and self-confident individuals who want to achieve more together than alone. Words like love and passion in a business context. The freedom to be oneself. Remarkable efficiency. An insatiable curiosity. An open approach to mistakes.
