After reading about Denmark and their Happiness Levels, some
people say that Danes are happy because they have low expectations.
I don't think this is true. As Buettner states:
"If they don't aspire, on the whole, to accumulate great wealth
or to achieve world dominance, what they do expect in terms of
education, health care, social interation, and exposure to the arts
far outstrips what Americans expect. The Danish path to happiness,
after, all isn't about oaspiring to scale peaks, but rather about
the satisfaction that comes from living at a high plateau. It's
about thriving in an environment that nudges them away from
superficial pleasures and toward lasting, and sometimes
counterintuitive, activdities that bring authentic happiness."
(page 66, THRIVE).
Buettner goes on to claim some lessons that can be learned from
Denmark. These include the following:
Build an Environment of Trust
Tolerance
Seek Status Equality
Seek Economic Equality
Care for the Young and the Old
Freedom
Get the Right Job
Work Just Enough
Cultivate the Art of Living
Make Cozy, Well-Lit Home Environments
Nudge People into Interaction
Optmimize Cities for Activity
Volunteer
Use Taxes
Please review these factors, and ask yourself if you think that
these factors are important for your happiness? If so, how? And if
not, why not? Then, also tell me, could you be happy living in
Denmark?
