Just last week I read a very interesting and entertaining book on this very topic. "The Almost Nearly Perfect People" by Michael Booth. He is from London, married to a Danish woman, and living and raising his family in Copenhagen. It isn't perfect in Denmark, but it is "almost nearly" and we could learn a lot from the Nordic countries if we weren't so damn arrogant. I highly recommend this book. Along with learning a great deal about life in modern day Scandinavia, you will enjoy a lot of laugh out loud moments. He tells great stories, my favorite was his description of his first visit to a Finnish sauna. Priceless.
