世界上最幸福的四个城市

　　人们总是用“水泥森林”来形容都市，都市人似乎总是冷漠、孤单的，但是事实并不总是如此。作家丹·布特尼在他的新书中写了四个他认为最具幸福感的城市，这些城市有什么共同点呢？我们一起来看看吧！

　　Dan Buettner, the author of Thrive: Finding Happiness the Blue Zone Way, set out to find the happiest places on earth, and he thinks he's discovered four contenders on four different continents. What makes residents in these places so glad to be living the lives they do? Here's a hint: It has nothing to do with their material wealth, intelligence, or attractiveness. Instead, Buettner found that members of these communities, which span the globe from Denmark to Mexico, give priority to social networks and health and well-being above all—and they make choices that reflect those values. So if you're looking for a cheery destination for your next vacation, consider these four spots—and get ready to take notes on how to really live the good life:

Århus, Denmark 丹麦奥尔胡斯市

　　The residents of Århus cheerfully part with 68% of their income in taxes, knowing that in return they will be guaranteed free healthcare, free daycare, and a topnotch education for their children. A robust city of 300,000 with a vibrant cultural scene and a diverse number of religions represented, the sense of community and equality (the range in incomes is narrow)， as well as easy access to the nearby sea and surrounding countryside, make Århus seem more like a small town. "We believe that a rich person is not necessarily the one with a lot of money," Jørgen Carlsen, an Århus school headmaster told Buettner. "It’s the one who really has a lot to be grateful for: nature, the company of other people, the ability to enjoy a good book."
