Summary
The Danish people have ranked as the "happiest people on earth" for 40 years in a row starting in the 70's, only to be rivaled by Norwegian and Finish people over the last several years. And their happiness isn't dependent on things like: the weather or low taxes (it's actually pretty cold and dark there, and they have relatively higher taxes)....so they must be doing something else right to be so happy.
So in today's episode we cover 3 of the traits that they focus on to be the happiest people. Many of the traits we KNOW are critical to having a happy marriage. Of course just being a happier individual will lead to a happier relationship, but you will be able to know exactly what traits to improve in your relationship, so that your own happiness is intentional and not just based on better life circumstances.
