    What do LEGO bricks, the Danish Royal Family, and ancient breathing techniques have in common? Today, we’re diving into the world of Design Thinking with Ditte Hoffmann Kærslund, a Senior Lecturer and Researcher at Denmark’s IBA, who has collaborated with the world-renowned LEGO Group. We’re not just talking about interlocking bricks and board games; we’re exploring how to use design tools to navigate regular life, beat academic stress, and boost mental well-being. Ditte shares her profound spiritual journey with Gurudev and the Art of Living, the research-backed benefits of Sudarshan Kriya, and incredible stories from her travels in India. We also take a deep dive into the fascinating culture of Denmark, uncovering the secret behind “Hygge” and why it consistently ranks as one of the happiest nations on Earth. From the unique rise of “Healthy Clubbing” and the bicycling lifestyle to must-visit spots and the oldest national flag in the world, this conversation is packed with curiosity-inspiring topics.
