A woman, 13 countries, and the search for happiness. Why are people in other countries happier than we are? To find out, Maike van den Boom travels to the 13 happiest countries on Earth and speaks on-site with happiness researchers, correspondents, expatriates, and people on the street. From Australia to Iceland, she discovers specific aspects of the mindset that lead to life satisfaction. One thing everyone agrees on is that being happy is the most important thing in life. And for that, these people make an effort every day. We can learn from them. Perhaps a different approach to time, more trust, more consensus, more serenity, simply a stronger sense of community. These are some of the ingredients for happiness, which come together to form a recipe that we can implement in our lives to bring us joy.
