I lived in Denmark last summer, and had studied it extensively before I went there, and actually wrote my thesis on their lack of institutionalized religion as being the tie to happiness. The reason for that is that within Denmark, equality and spirit is key, which leads to equal respect of all races/genders. Men get paid parental leave, and share equally in housework, child rearing, and women are expected to do work they love. Higher education on birth-control, women-friendly medicine and body respect is tantamount. In the us, the institution of religion really discourages equality of women, and instead encourages consumption. It creates imbalances and abuse. Also the majority ride their bike everyday and are more grounded in who they are as people, and less about the rat race. NY times just came out with an article linking institutional and marital equality to happiness- among all genders and races… common sense.

Great post. What you said about allowing an unhappy society to decide for you what will make you happy sounds bizarre, but it is true for so many people.

I didn’t realise the Dane’s were such a happy people! Thanks for the vids.

Thanks for posting–great clip. I think the key is, “I allow an unhappy society tell me what will make me happy,” so very well said. I’m going to have major surgery in a couple of weeks and I’ve been resting from a lung condition, reading a lot, and realizing how much I was doing wrong. Designed minimalism is the way to go.
