Instead, economist Christian Bjørnskov argues that the true key to national happiness is social trust ? the ability to trust other people one does not know personally.00The populations in three of the five Nordic countries are also characterized by a very strong sense of personal freedom. These two factors contribute to a fuller and richer life. Bjørnskov ends by discussing to what extent these elements can be exported to other parts of the world. --

Hygge will change your views on life. Follow this philosophy can be regardless of your citizenship and residence, because home comfort is an international phenomenon.
