芬兰记者阿努·帕塔宁2008年搬到美国,她本来是充满自信的人,有成功的事业和充实的社交生活,可是来美国后不久就变得谨小慎微,充满自我怀疑。她发现,这里的日常生活中的一切--从购买一部手机到为教育和儿童保育进行税务申报--和自己的北欧老家相比都更复杂和充满压力。起初,她把自己严重的焦虑归因于自己难以适应自由的新环境。但是随着越来越了解更多的美国人,她发现他们也和她一样倍感压力。为了理解美国和芬兰为什么会有这么大的差异,她开始仔细观察这两个国家的日常生活,从政经文化、育儿教育、社会福利、医疗健保、两性关系、工作税制等政策差异优劣,在清晰详实的调查研究基础上给出具体建议。她澄清了那些说北欧国家是"大政府""高税收""福利国家养懒人"的常见误解,指出美国社会的金钱至上原则造成公民生活更大的风险性和更强的依赖性,普通人维持基本生计的成本也远比北欧国家更高。北欧生活方式让人的生活更加舒适,自由,这也说明了人类追求卓越的愿望并不像美国人对利润动机的信念所暗示的那样脆弱和软弱。也许生活比金钱更重要,这在全球各地都是一致的。
