Also, with Christmas just 37 days away, we talk about our plan to adopt a traditional Icelandic gift-giving practice called “Jólabókaflóðið”.

Show summary
On today’s show we talk about two cities that make the top-five list on both Mercer’s and Monocle’s “the most livable cities” rankings: Munich and Vienna. Having lived in both cities, we compare our own anecdotal evidence with these two livability rankings. We also chat about how some cities in North America are starting to plan their cities for people instead of cars. To finish, we discuss how happiness is not a goal, but rather a side effect.
