over the well. as a vinyl vine to entrepreneurs invite you to listen to entire records. we kick start the show with a great philosophy on life if you speak more than one language you'll know that sometimes there isn't a direct translation for what you want to say is some languages was just don't exist and one example is the danish what hugo you just can't translate it but it basically means enjoying life simple pleasures be that spending time with friends and family going for a walk or simply looking at the wind blow of a candle they all signify a hugo and since the day is a usually a ranked highly among the happiest people in the wells we thought we'd get a lesson in how to live a more should get lead life. surveys indicate that danes are among the happiest people on earth. in fact the un's world happiness report

regularly puts denmark at the top of the list. what is it about the danes that makes them such happy people. might be king has written a book about all this and he believes he knows the answer. it has to do with togetherness it has to do with the art of creating a good atmosphere it's about equality it's about saving simple pleasures i think we also see something inherently danish i think we see it as part of our national identity the same way the american see freedom we think of something as part of our d.n.a. . the word means being comfortable and contented often while enjoying the simpler pleasures of life. here are a few examples. it's having of kabul for warm chocolate all warm

and some peace with that some and the talk. a little bit deeper than the chilling on the couch well we take you can't make yourself heard is also maybe watching a film or reading a book listen. mike peeking is the c.e.o. of the happiness research institute in copenhagen and he says that the danes unique attitude towards life plays a major role in their sense of wellbeing. than we've been curious about why denmark does well in the happiness rankings and we've looked at the political system and that's a big part of the explanation you know high level of trust your social security and those with health care but that also explains why the other nordic countries do well so we wanted to understand why does denmark do better then than sweden from then iceland and and. and now we. are spending quality time with family and friends

or enjoying homemade cinnamon buns that's. the danes really love christmas time the traditional apple carts are on sale at christmas markets throughout copenhagen. so it's brooke more danish mulled wine. particularly amusement park is decked out with a sea of lights mike peeking says winter is the peak season for good. while it is practiced throughout the year i think for the winter period it becomes almost a survival strategy it's a way of getting the best out of it time of year which is dark and cold and wet and we're forced into forced. the best place to experience here is in danish homes the danes have more living space per person than any other european country and they make their surroundings as comfortable as possible. life is important too.

there's a reason why we use twice as much candle wax as number two in europe which is australia because we enjoy lighting that is at the low end of the temperature scale so we enjoy warm mortify soft diffused lights to create a nice atmosphere in a room and chairs by our new york cops and cortlandt but do these things actually make people happy the notion or the concept of hickeys something that for danes is just a word or describes a situation and or a state of mind more than a design i don't think you can say that it's a sign it's assigned or is. doing something to create but i think it's something that's more ingrained or maybe internalized in our culture a simple walk outside can also be good it doesn't cost anything and makes you feel good he shouldn't be. about consumerism you could also use.

as the get out of jail card if something is too expensive if you walk into a restaurant it's too expensive you could say should we find a place that's more in fresno yeah let's find a place that's more so we should be inexpensive because it's about equality and it's about simple precious. danes call that special cozy christmas feeling. and the focus is not on expensive presents it's on being together with family and friends that's the true spirit of christmas and not just in denmark. taking care of your well being is something that more and more people are becoming aware of these days luckily there are activities that we can do to clear the mind and matter whether one of the latest craze is adult coloring books they're said to help relax and focus the mind and scottish artist johana basket was one of the

founders of this trend. ninety six pages of detail drawings of plants and animals and secret garden also has labyrinths to discover patterns to complete or entire drawings to color in it's a template for creative ideas drawn by john abbas for. lives and works in scotland the main job is creating illustrations for packaging the idea for a coloring book for grownups came by accident. coloring for adults was a child that is now i so unless they were like wow i'm not sure adults aged up five pages at this point who is that next to collect yes that could be. coloring books for grown ups are booming at the moment and the bestsellers are various and pirate spot books like secret garden. their cover is on the nonfiction

buying team for britain's leading bookstore chain we're seeing that coloring books are selling much better than. that and. crossword books which used to dominate the category so be interesting to see if people start to meeting and coloring and. coloring in pictures is said to be relaxing while also improving concentration versions for grownups are just somewhat more complex female bands are especially enthusiastic about this rediscovered pastime sometimes it's hard to find any any time for myself to actually think about me say this in a way that i can just sort of think about me and it's something for myself to. john a bastard first book secret garden has sold more than ten million copies worldwide and she joins by hand with pen and ink she gets her inspiration from a castle in scotland where her grandfather was the gardener. as really inspired by

the castle garden. it's just a really beautiful place to play when you're a child and just a lovely setting that it really imagine it's so depicts i've been spared by that childhood and those manage it and then the second because had thought it best takes its inspiration from the forestry that was behind my grandparents. chanted forest was published in twenty fifteen and became a bestseller and she's since published on their own twenty e-book editions of her work so far this is one genre that still works best printed on paper. well as we're in chill out mode today we wanted to show you this fabulous hotel in the mountains of the czech republic the building is an old t.v. tower that ten years to build initially is now filled with character and doubles as

the main mark of this popular winter sports region on a clear day there's a great view of the city as well as parts of poland and germany but when we visited winter with in full swing. there is yes. and on top of it the famous ninety four metre high t.v. tower. which houses the u.s. did hotel. the building in the czech city of liberates is an impressive site provided the weather is on your side in winter the tower is often shrouded in fog. taking the cable car up is almost a mystical experience in the winter a special atmosphere pervades the mountain. no one knows this better than i wish was worked at the hotel for years. to come on in your. homes and again in the winter like another seasons you can enjoy stunning views from here come on you

it's wise for us to live in the new hot sometimes you get to experience this kind of snowy winter wonderland we're having today as he tells me and i don't mean the american. scenery that many guests appreciate from behind observation windows. which been really impressed by all this the weather in particular a shame we can't enjoy the view today this is a bit shorter but i think there are no cars and no traffic only nature. you know to look. at the snow the wind you know it is friendly people everywhere. and the. cloud nine it's great. the hotel has one thousand rooms on two floors. and two of them still have the original one nine hundred seventy s. furniture that was created by interior design or what a car being are. the other rooms were redesigned the look of the hotel reminiscent of a spaceship or an airplane was preserved. by night at the us dead hotel starts at

seventy euro. futuristic tower opened in one thousand nine hundred three after ten years of construction it was a sensation at the time partly because of its unusual construction materials. porcelain was used in the hallway. and a wall in the lobby is made of exposed concrete and bohemian glass art. from this hotel where as you make me working here is not just like working in a hotel but also like being in a gallery and weren't in the know the. chairwoman of the gifted seventy three club wants to preserve the hotel as it was she works closely with the original interior designer he's drawn up plans to build reconstructions of the furniture. in line.

this was the small lounge forty years ago and today refurbishing it took a year and cost twenty two thousand euros. after that the bar was refurbished soon the exterior of the tower will be renovated it's exposed to extreme weather conditions at a height of one thousand meters. a. special atmosphere at the people who spend the night here they say so and. which is for me the most beautiful a situation where you are above the clouds you are in the sunshine but deliberate on the whole republic is under the cards and then you feel like in a spaceship just outside the spaceship lies the check skiing region of the you zero mountains.

to themselves this is one hundred. each year. for the players to sharpen their focus. completely. think about the next week and. they have to be totally focused on the. has been making a living. since two thousand and ten. one hundred ten to create the prototype for. the moment comes into. play and it's just fun. to touch it up. himself. created.

it's even hard. valley to get away from the monitor even facebook. board game. see the secret to success in its diversity. see it. like clockwork. where players don't get tossed out of the game. or the conflict military units or spaceships hordes against each other. since two thousand and thirteen the pair have been presenting board games on their you tube show hunter and they post a new episode daily. either and welcome to our channel.

where you'll find everything about board games card games children's games and other stuff. to present new releases review games and invite other you tubers to their board game club to them more games are more than just a pastime and the backdrop for a subculture. was. a. pursuit for adults and young adults on a par with watching movies reading comics and playing computer games. so it's only natural that a whole culture would grow up around that. and the. board and computer games are no longer mutually exclusive either many publishers make the instructions available on the internet. and shuffle all the cards except building scarred and deal thirteen cards to each player each player picks up their hand so

the other players are unable to see them then. for some board games there are even digital aids for the classic scotland yard for instance an app can help players track down the elusive mr x. . game cafes and libraries have also become popular like this one in berlin patrons can choose from a library of some two thousand games and play them for a euro an hour. opened the cafe in two thousand and six. after a long and rocky start interest has soared. and. cafes are an alternative to pubs movies and clubs. it's not a lot of maintenance or play or games here and then move on to the club's. biggest meudon we're going to go to the. game of the year award is presented annually

in germany a kind of oscar for board games giving them a platform for international recognition. taking the time out to play a ball game is good for the mind body and spirit in fact taking the time full stop is a great way to appreciate life that is what the danes said at the top of the show and it seems that the philosophy is catching on around europe i mean when was the last time that you sat down and listens to an entire music album and really listened to it well the opportunity to do just that is spreading its way around in germany. back in the days when vinyl was synonymous with records many people listen to l.p.'s from start to finish those days seem long gone.

but mocking in the heart and. still remember them. they founded a company called play time. can run for sixty or seventy minutes today listening to an entire work is a unique experience. reintroducing that to people and culture was our original idea . when it'll play time is on the billet a german cinema that's here at the babylon movie theater in berlin visitors pay five euros to listen to a record in the company of others this evening's auditory treat is bob dylan's double album. the idea of consciously enjoying something without distractions is catching on. play time is all about taking time to press play and just listen to him music played at its own tempo

without pressing skidmore fast forwarding or being seduced by other opportunities other songs that are just one click away and click on to just abandon yourself to the music from start to finish. listening to an entire album requires time and leisure and these days few people make the effort. because in part of the day we're barely able to perform any activity for a long time we live into our cycles every two hours there has to be a new impetus whether it's going to the theater of a cinema resting friends or having dinner everything sinked to this to our rhythm guitar then we need something new for us noir time seems to be running away from us it's a plague of our modern age yet this feeling isn't soon you know. even two

thousand years ago. it's like the roman seneca were preoccupied with this phenomena . back then he figured i'm their supplies to the present to get a third of our time was taken from us a third disappeared on noticed and a third slipped away. the longing for life to slow down is growing people are doing lots of things to escape stress visiting spas taking holidays on farms and leaving their cellphones behind when they go on a hike. this desire for things to slow down has become a trend. that's a serious note certainly still a nation trend but i think it'll become more important as people are already noticing that many things in our time change too quickly perhaps the multi option society of the last few decades has overtaxing to quite before dark. back into

babylon cinema and berlin the album is about seventy minutes long not including the forces needed to change the record yet none of the visitors leave before it's finished. this is from the citric pleasant. listen to an album of the cinema and also it's very nice to be able to do it at the right value of go to the arms of all at home you sit down and get distracted by some screen your mobile phone or whatever you're using to listen to the music. here you just get to listen to the music moves in the sea come i think this brings back an idea of music that we need to keep alive. is super interesting. to play turns into play time is a seventy minute break and doesn't matter when it happens morning noon or night it really is that a break in what is this new pope. playtimes inventors plan to present

a concept in other major european cities they want to keep the wheels turning but not to folks. i hope even watching the show today is helped you have a break for about thirty minutes anyway so it's rare for a loss special so the weekend until then take harry's house is. on the next special edition of your own max an icy adventure on the norwegian aki palla goes spitzbergen. last tourist through iceland's second largest can i say oh. and the winter getaway in the swiss resort of double. bass and more coming up tomorrow on your imax.
