Nordic Time: What the World's Happiest Country Taught Me

 

　　This book revolves around "Five Types of Nordic Time," guiding readers to slow down in their daily lives and find their own exclusive rhythm:

　　➤ Pause and Recharge ── Practice pausing, hitting the stop button in a busy pace, and learning to truly rest.

　　➤ I Am Me ── Return to your true self, embrace your own rhythm, without catering to others or comparing yourself.

　　➤ Focus on One Thing at a Time ── Concentrate on one task at a time, escape multitasking anxiety, and bring attention back to the present moment.

　　➤ More Playfulness ── Add small touches of creativity to everyday life, brightening it and creating surprises.

　　➤ Healing Companionship ── Feel safe and supported whether interacting with others or being alone.

 

　　⊹ The author uses their own "change of mindset" after moving to the Nordics, combined with the simplest yet most effective "daily suggestions," to demonstrate "just right, comforting moments" that can be replicated in Taiwan. Lighting a candle, drinking a cup of coffee, watching a sunset, taking a stroll... these small but real moments can bring happiness closer.

 

　　⊹ Make "happiness" no longer a distant dream! This book does not offer a luxurious escape, but a recipe for happiness that everyone can easily practice.

 

　　⊹ All photos are taken by local Nordic photographers, paired with the author's gentle, poetic words. Opening the book feels as if you are in the Nordics, personally experiencing the light, atmosphere, and tranquility.

　　◤Jelly Wang, C-IAYT Yoga Therapist: "Perhaps leaving your current life and moving to another city is a distant dream, but through the author's story, you can re-examine 'what kind of life do I want?' and then, based on your existing resources, create the life you desire!"

 

　　◤Wang Yi-Chung, Director of Wang Yi-Chung Psychological Counseling Clinic / Clinical Psychologist: "In the flow of time, how meticulously one uses, feels, savors, and presents their inner and outer life will ultimately determine whether the drama of one's life is lived brilliantly."

 

　　◤Wu Min-En, Space Organizer: "Through the Nordic philosophy of time, learn self-care, focus, and gratitude. Find balance in body and mind in daily life, and embrace a life of ease and freedom."

 

　　◤Coco, Finnish Cocoa Bean: "After living in Finland for a while, I increasingly feel that 'ordinariness is happiness.' Nordic life might be calmer compared to Taiwan, but every step is solid, and every moment is fulfilling. Reading this book brought me this serene, grounded feeling."
