As heard on Book of the Week, Radio 4
The whole world wants to learn the secrets of Nordic exceptionalism: why are the Danes the happiest people in the world, despite having the highest taxes? If the Finns really have the best education system, how come they still think all Swedish men are gay? Are the Icelanders really feral? How are the Norwegians spending their fantastical oil wealth? And why do all of them hate the Swedes?
Michael Booth has lived among the Scandinavians, on and off, for over ten years, perplexed by their many strange paradoxes and character traits and equally bemused by the unquestioning enthusiasm for all things Nordic that has engulfed the rest of the world, whether it be for their food, television, social systems or chunky knitwear.
In this timely book he leaves his adopted home of Denmark and embarks on a journey through all five of the Nordic countries to discover who these curious tribes are, the secrets of their success and, most intriguing of all, what they think of each other. Along the way a more nuanced, often darker picture emerges of a region plagued by taboos, characterised by suffocating parochialism and populated by extremists of various shades.
They may very well be almost nearly perfect, but it isn't easy being Scandinavian.

读后感
北欧人是全世界最幸福的人，他们信任他人，生活成功，当我们面对他们，一种直觉的反应是想要挑刺，想用X射线透视他们的破绽。我在写作本书期间，也不能完全克制这种冲动。但是，北欧读者如果看到这本书，请你们原谅。就当我是嫉妒吧，如果这样可以让你们心里好受一点儿。
评分生活在一个高寒、高税率、社会单调的地区，会有什么幸福感可言？但它偏偏被誉为“人间的乐土”，没错，我说的正是北欧。 作为一个英国人，记者迈克尔•布斯将他的第二祖国安在了丹麦，结果他发现北欧人竟然比英国人还内敛沉默。斯堪的纳维亚半岛输出了众多品牌和文化，它们相...
评分断断续续花了比较长的时间才看完这本书，整体感觉是比较枯燥。原来看名字以为是一本游记，谁知是关于北欧五国的社会人文的介绍。而且由于是英国人写的，对于中国人来说就更难理解一些了吧。 丹麦：由于与欧洲地缘的最为接近，因此最欧洲。人们喜欢参加一些无聊的集体活动，例如...

为芬兰冰岛行程做准备的书。去到冰岛和芬兰的时候才更有体会。
评分我那群美艳到窒息乐观到极致有钱却只用来饮酒作乐的斯堪的纳维亚朋友，可能她们自己都解释不出来为什么北欧民族性格是这样的，但是这本书能解释，书里不仅有大量信息可以掉书袋，还有很多段子能逗逼。
评分这本书简直可以作为expat旅居的写作范本。作者是常年给英国报刊撰文的记者和专栏作家，在丹麦定居了十年。虽然有不少地方有夸张和卖弄风趣之处，但是整个对北欧社会的描述十分到位。我觉得最难得的是那种北欧文化氛围的解读，只有真正长时间生活在这里才能了解得那么深入。强烈推荐。
评分Bitterly judgmental and condescending
评分"You know, I wouldn't trust a Swede, and I wouldn't trust an Icelander, but you can always trust a Finn."
