The Almost Nearly Perfect People

Behind the Myth of the Scandinavian Utopia

Michael Booth

Explore the Nordic countries like never before with this fascinating book by Michael Booth. Frustrated by the rose-tinted view of Scandinavia, Booth embarks on a journey through all five countries to discover who these "curious tribes" are and what they really think about each other. From the secrets of their success to their quirks and foibles, Booth offers a nuanced and often darker picture of this region. Discover why the Danes are so happy, whether the Finns really have the best education system, and why all of them hate the Swedes.
