The Nordic Theory of Everything: In Search of a Better Life

O, the Oprah Magazine calls this an "engaging fusion of reportage and memoir." From the publisher: "Anu Partanen had recently left Finland and moved to America for the love of her life. Their relationship flourished, but she found that navigating the basics of everyday life was much more complicated. Partanen compares living in the United States with life in the Nordic region, focusing on four key relationships—parents and children, men and women, employees and employers, and government and citizens. Offering insights, advice, and solutions, The Nordic Theory makes a convincing argument that we can rebuild our society, rekindle our optimism, and restore independence to our relationships and lives."
