• The Nordic Secret: A European Story of Beauty and Freedom, by Lene Rachel Andersen and Tomas Björkman (2017)
  How do societies go through major technological, economic and structural changes peacefully? The Nordic Secret explores how Denmark, Norway and Sweden went from poor, feudal, agricultural societies to rich industrialized democracies thanks to the German educational concept of Bildung. The book also investigates the close relationship between Bildung and contemporary developmental psychology, i.e. the concepts of "ego-development" and "transformative learning." The Nordic Secret concludes with a discussion about what we can learn from this positive transformation and how to apply it in the current global crises.



• Metamodernity: Meaning and Hope in a Complex World by Lene Rachel Andersen (2019)
  Metamodernity is an alternative to both modernity and postmodernism, a cultural code that presents itself as an opportunity if we work deliberately towards it. Metamodernity provides us with a framework for understanding ourselves and our societies in a much more complex way. It contains both indigenous, premodern, modern, and postmodern cultural elements and thus provides social norms and a moral fabric for intimacy, spirituality, religion, science, and self-exploration, all at the same time. It is a way of strengthening local, national, continental, and global cultural heritage among all and thus has the potential to dismantle the fear of losing one’s culture.
