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.

为芬兰冰岛行程做准备的书。去到冰岛和芬兰的时候才更有体会。
评分读完了，写得真好，文字幽默且信息量大。
评分因为他和我一样都是住在丹麦的外国人，所以很多观察对我来说都很“亲切”。有时候也会想如果是一个北欧人来写这本书又会是个什么样子，但北欧人自己又真的能理解自己吗？
评分为芬兰冰岛行程做准备的书。去到冰岛和芬兰的时候才更有体会。
评分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。
