The Danish Way
Denmark has been voted as one of the happiest countries in the world for over 50 years in a row. Countless articles and studies have been devoted to discovering the reasons why. But the results are always unclear. These groundbreaking books aim to uncover the real secret to the Danes´ happiness.
And it is, quite simply, in their upbringing. Danish parents raise happy children who grow up to be happy adults who raise happy children and the cycle repeats itself. The Danish Way of Parenting and The Danish Way of Education take a fascinating look at some of the differences between American and Danish parenting styles and explain why the Danish Way has been so effective in creating happier, more resilient people for so many years.
Alexander asks the reader to remove their “cultural glasses” for a moment and try on a “Danish way” of seeing things and then take a look at the world around them. Can anyone improve their wellbeing and cultivate the happiest children in the world in their own backyard? The answer is yes!
