As heard on Book of the Week, Radio 4
The whole world wants to learn the secrets of Nordic exceptionalism: why are the Danes the happiest people in the world, despite having the highest taxes? If the Finns really have the best education system, how come they still think all Swedish men are gay? Are the Icelanders really feral? How are the Norwegians spending their fantastical oil wealth? And why do all of them hate the Swedes?
Michael Booth has lived among the Scandinavians, on and off, for over ten years, perplexed by their many strange paradoxes and character traits and equally bemused by the unquestioning enthusiasm for all things Nordic that has engulfed the rest of the world, whether it be for their food, television, social systems or chunky knitwear.
In this timely book he leaves his adopted home of Denmark and embarks on a journey through all five of the Nordic countries to discover who these curious tribes are, the secrets of their success and, most intriguing of all, what they think of each other. Along the way a more nuanced, often darker picture emerges of a region plagued by taboos, characterised by suffocating parochialism and populated by extremists of various shades.
They may very well be almost nearly perfect, but it isn't easy being Scandinavian.

评分 评分 评分听一位来自英国的丹麦女婿谈他眼里的北欧社会，有意思。假如幸福背后有迹可寻，这将是一场再值得不过的旅行。 于我，丹麦不再是只有安徒生、潘多拉、世界上最幸福的国家，“谦卑的骄傲”恰当地描述了丹麦人的性格特点。缴纳全世界最高的税率，却也带给人足够的安全感。“失于外...
评分生活在一个高寒、高税率、社会单调的地区，会有什么幸福感可言？但它偏偏被誉为“人间的乐土”，没错，我说的正是北欧。 作为一个英国人，记者迈克尔•布斯将他的第二祖国安在了丹麦，结果他发现北欧人竟然比英国人还内敛沉默。斯堪的纳维亚半岛输出了众多品牌和文化，它们相...

撕开了北欧幸福平等经济发达社会和谐的外皮，让读者看到了一个更真实多面的北欧。福利社会的未来，移民问题，右翼政党的得势，鼓励中庸的社会常规，讨论的都是很复杂的问题，引述多方观点，没有清楚明白的答案，让强迫症有点难受。
评分Bitterly judgmental and condescending
评分英国人的吐槽真是逆天… 话说作者一开始的动机应该是为了吐槽丹麦吧，后来怕被老婆打死才扩展到了北欧五国？
评分They (Iceland) still have to import virtually everything apTart from electricity and fish????
