It is well known that the Danes have a fantastic work-life balance, that working late is discouraged, parental leave is split equally, and long summer holidays are the norm. They even have a word meaning “happiness at work”—arbejdsglæde. Meanwhile, the rest of the western world is struggling with a burn-out epidemic—but where are we going wrong? Based on a new study from the Happiness Research Institute, Meik Wiking reveals the main factors that build happiness at work—purpose, trust, relationships, balance, and more—to show how we can reduce stress, increase productivity, and find fulfillment, both in and out of work.

Meik Wiking is a happiness researcher and founded the world’s first Happiness Research Institute in 2013, in Copenhagen, Denmark. He is a New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author whose three globally bestselling books have sold over two million copies worldwide: The Little Book of Hygge, The Little Book of Lykke, and The Art of Making Memories. He has been called the Indiana Jones of Smiles and probably the World’s Happiest Man by the Times.
