Danes are the happiest people on earth! Denmark is peaceful and uncorrupt and our welfare state ensures that no-one goes hungry or sick. Copenhagen is the best city in the world, as named by Monocle, the lifestyle magazine of choice for the international jet set.
Introducing the theme of TEDxCopenhagen 2010: The Good Life.
What is the good life? And what is the price we pay to live it? These are among the questions we’ll try to answer through a series of talks on November 30 at TEDxCopenhagen 2010.

Here under may be an inspiration of the SCOPE of a good life can (should?) emcompasses:
One side of the dilemma is the need our kids have for intellectual training and development, which includes the use of technology and the critical role that having competency with it plays in today’s world.
This need exists because the world we live in has grown far more sophisticated and advanced, and being positioned to successfully engage in commerce and in most career paths, requires a relatively high level of intellectual and technological sophistication.
The other side of the dilemma is the possibility for true aesthetic growth and development, and the depths of personal, emotional, spiritual, and relational maturation that becomes available to those who have this.
By aesthetic, I mean quite literally the quality of life that comes from being sensorially aware, awake and attuned via the five senses – literally the capacity to fully experience being alive in all its wonder, splendor and diversity – and the sense of imagination, creativity and magic of life that belongs implicitly to those who live this way.
To me this is where real intelligence, intuition and brilliance emerges from.
