- Reading
- Use the contents as a route through the book: choose a topic, then compare it with another chapter. Pause at the rankings to discuss what each measure can and cannot show.
- Themes
- National wellbeing and success: The introduction presents Sweden positively through claims about happiness, health, education, safety, equality, competitiveness and working hours. The opening gives an upbeat account supported by selected national measures; the contents indicate coverage of wider social and economic subjects.
- Worth knowing
- The introduction uses strong positive comparisons and rankings. It may be worth noticing which measures support its picture of success, and which aspects receive less emphasis.
