If you’re looking for books on Denmark, consider “How to Live in Denmark” and “How to Work in Denmark” by Kay Xander Mellish. Both are based on the popular “How to Live in Denmark” podcast.

“How to Live in Denmark” is about what it’s like to move to Denmark and integrate into Danish culture. Dating in Denmark and making friends in Denmark are also covered in the book.

“How to Work in Denmark” is about the do’s and don’ts of the Danish workplace. It talks about finding a job in Denmark and even what to wear to the office in Denmark. The book also discusses how to get along with your Danish colleagues and how to understand your Danish boss.

“Working with Americans” and “Working with Danes” are a look at the differences between US business culture and Danish business culture. In particular, they examine how Danish modesty and “Janteloven” sometimes clashes with American ambition and self-promotion, and offers tips on business small talk and other aspects of doing business in Denmark or doing business in the USA.

You can buy the books on Amazon, Saxo, Google Play and iTunes in eBook form, or order the paperbacks from our webshop.

Audiobook versions of some of our books on Denmark are also available from Audible and Mofibo.
