Finnish Nightmares
From awkward interactions on public transportation to avoiding small talk with salespeople, introverts from all over the world will find something to love in this comic sensation from Finland. Mild-mannered protagonist Matti is a typical Finn who appreciates peace, quiet, and personal space--but things do not always go according to his wishes. Finnish Nightmares is an illustrated collection of his and many people's worst fears when it comes to social interactions. Divided into sections on dealing with neighbors, going shopping, sharing public spaces, tense dining situations, and more, there is a comic for every squeamish scenario, from having to sing your own praises in a job interview, to being unable to leave your apartment because a neighbor is in the hallway. A fascinating look at Nordic culture, globe trotters and armchair travelers alike will enjoy this insider's glimpse into the local life and habits of Finland. With a charming and quirky universality, there is an awkward and laughable situation that everyone can relate to in Finnish Nightmares.

Dwell
At Dwell, we're staging a minor revolution. We think that it's possible to live in a house or apartment by a bold modern architect, to own furniture and products that are exceptionally well designed, and still be a regular human being. We think that good design is an integral part of real life. And that real life has been conspicuous by its absence in most design and architecture magazines.

Spektrum Psychologie - Warum das Glück im Norden liegt
Hohe Berge, gewaltige Gletscher, tiefe Fjorde, in denen sich das Meerwasser vielerorts bis weit ins Landesinnere schlängelt: Wer einmal in Norwegen war, vergisst das Land so schnell nicht wieder. Nicht nur als Reisender kann man dort sein Herz verlieren, auch die Einwohner Norwegens sind mit ihrem Leben ziemlich zufrieden. Das zeigt zum Beispiel der »World Happiness Report«, in dem das Land regelmäßig einen der vorderen Ränge belegt. Nachbar Finnland konnte mittlerweile sogar zum sechsten Mal in Folge den ersten Platz für sich verbuchen, gefolgt von Dänemark und Island. Was das Glücksrezept der nördlichsten Länder Europas ist, verrät Ihnen der Wissenschaftsjournalist Frank Luerweg in unserer Titelgeschichte ab S. 18. Fernweh bekommen kann man auch, wenn man eine neue Sprache lernt. Doch selbst nach Jahren der Übung gelingt es meist nur wenigen Menschen, fremde Sprachen akzentfrei zu sprechen. Das kann Vor-, aber auch Nachteile mit sich bringen. Wie sich ein Akzent darauf auswirkt, was wir von anderen Menschen denken, lesen Sie ab S. 70. Eine spannende Lektüre wünscht Daniela Mocker, Redaktion Spektrum der Wissenschaft.
