4 - My favorite Norwegian joy-concept
from Unreasonably happy · host Elise Aabakken
Å glede seg - The delightful Norwegian expression of joyful anticipation and how embracing this can bring you more joy, even if it’s something far away. Even something TINY can connect you to more of your joy AND FUN FACT, did you know dopamine is an anticipation chemical (not a reward one), how cool is that?!?! The first of a series (maybe?) of episodes called "Norwegian Non-sense"! Nuance in translations, expressions and meaning of different words in different languages is SO much fun to me, so stay tuned for more tiny reframes and perspective-shifts by viewing concepts we already know in another language.
