4:35pm ET - Journalist Michael Booth has lived among the Scandinavians for more than ten years, and he has grown increasingly frustrated with the rose-tinted view of this part of the world offered up by the Western media.   So he decided to leave his adopted home of Denmark and embark on a journey through all five of the Nordic countries to discover who these curious people are, the secrets of their success, and, most intriguing of all, what they think of one another.  Michael joins us today from Denmark to discuss his new book The Almost Nearly Perfect People: Behind the Myth of the Scandinavian Utopia.  You can also follow Michael on twitter.
