I am an aspiring scientist and research is my passion and getting into this Institute is my dream now.įrom subscribing to Jonna Jinton’s youtube channel who lives in a secluded place in North Sweden and follows a very connected-to-nature lifestyle to planning a trip to Abisko, this book provided me with a lot of reasons to why Nature, it told me in a million different languages that girl slow down, look we have a got you a better way of living. As an inquisitive person, my head was demanding an answer to why? Why only these countries? How is it different from the way we live? And then I came across Happiness Research Institute in Denmark. And this led me to dig deeper about these countries and this stride of mine landed me on another piece of information that is : these countries rank on the list of happiest countries in the world. There is not a single day when I don't dream about them. I wish to take a trip to all these places. I don't know much about Scandinivain countries but believe me now I am in awe of Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. You know sometimes a book takes longer to finish because each and every part of it is to be absorbed and devoured.

I legitimately went through a process or journey while reading this book. Brought up in the city, I was so busy in the rat race and hustle and bustle of life that I did not notice how the other half lives(basically people who are connected to nature). I have never been to the forest as far as I can remember and I have never been in Nature as such to be honest.

Except for the place where the author backs up her claim with some or scientific evidence this book is really unputdownable. It made me travel from one continent to another in my imagination while reading this book.
