So the Danes were recently rated the happiest people in the world, what do you think that's all about?
Well I think we're actually all pretty stressed, but we also know how to unwind…we have this word "hygge"—which sort of translates to cozy…it's this whole state of mind…we love to be social, and sit at cafes, sip a coffee or a glass of white wine, and just enjoy life. That's probably the secret.
What's the one thing you can't be without on a daily basis?
Coffee!
