This morning a Norwegian friend posted a picture of himself
Alone
On the top of a mountain
In the middle of a snowfield
He was happy
Norwegian happy
Happiness is achieved in different ways in different cultures
Norwegians are happy when outdoors in difficult weather conditions
When they do not talk
The wind and rain making it impossible
It gives Norwegians a great feeling
A feeling of accomplishment
You will notice that Norwegians like to suffer physically
So that they can enjoy more afterwards and be happy
Norwegians’ relationship to nature is unique
What brings happiness to Norwegians is unique
Understanding the peculiarities of each culture you interact with
What makes the people of that culture happy
It will help you to better connect with them
And help you be more happy in this foreign environment
--
We hope that our Social Guidebooks to Norway will help you better understand what makes Norwegian happy!
