介绍:
Disney World is known as “the happiest place on the earth”, but where will you search for real human happiness? You might expect that place would be a tropical paradise with warm sand and soft breezes, or a Mediterranean village with bathed vineyards.
As a matter of fact, Denmark, a cold country, has been named the best place in the world. But how can this be?
Denmark’s high taxation ensures a welfare society with free education, health care, etc. The Danes live a high quality life.
In Denmark, you will find that the distances are short. This makes it possible to combine the atmosphere of a buzzing city life with the relaxation of the beautiful Danish country and seaside.
The Danes are generally well educated and well informed, but at the same time they enjoy a free lifestyle. This gives them an optimistic attitude towards life.
With more hours of darkness in winter, hygge holds a special place in the hearts of the Danes. It has become the latest lifestyle trend globally. Perhaps hygge explains why the Danes are the happiest people in the world.
What does this powerful word “hygge” really mean? It’s usually translated into English as “coziness” or “snugness”. It means creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life with good people. Reading alone at home with the warm candlelight is hygge. Staying with friends and family is hygge, too.
Perhaps the bicycle is the best symbol of Danish happiness. The Danes can afford cars, but they usually choose bicycles — simple, economical, non-polluting machines that show no status and help keep people fit.
