The Viking Code: The Art and Science of Norwegian Success (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781394288762)

Harness the power of Norwegian cultural wisdom to improve your life and change the world

In The Viking Code: The Art and Science of Norwegian Success, economic philosopher, entrepreneur, investor, and former competitive athlete Anders Indset reveals how Norwegian performance athletes and other successful figures use ingrained cultural values to achieve outsized influence on the world stage, as well as how we all can learn from and apply this cultural wisdom to create a better world in the future. Moving far past stories of barbaric conquests and historical comparisons, this book explores concepts like Hvis du tror du er ferdig utl rt, er du ikke utl rt, men ferdig--a common trap where you assume you've learned everything there is to know and therefore make failure a near certainty.

Backed by modern scientific research throughout, some of the concepts explored in this book include:

• Structured play in finite games, versus infinite games with no definitive beginning or end
• The power of tapping into an innate sense of wonder to remove inhibitions and fears
• Success as a voluntary act and how diverse talent is found in every corner of the world

Centered around the idea of healthy and balanced ambition and tact, The Viking Code is an essential read for all individuals seeking to learn from the age-old wisdom of Norwegian culture and apply what they learn to better themselves and others.
