The Xenophobe's Guide to the Swedes by Peter Berlin
Soulful sadnessA common trait among Swedish people is a deeply felt svarmod, a dark melancholy born out of long winters, high taxes, and a sense of being stuck far out on a geo-political and socio-economic limb. They brood a lot over the meaning of life in a self-absorbed sort of way without ever arriving at satisfactory answers.Love allThe Swedes indulge in sport for leisure and sex for pleasure. Some people treat sex as a sport in order to combine leisure with pleasure, and thus save time and energy.Nurture natureThe Swedes have a dream: to save Nature from Man. This is more than just a visionit's as close to a passion as the Swedes ever get.Net lossBecoming rich in Sweden has never been easy. As Ingmar Bergman found out, even millionaires can have difficulties making ends meet when income tax is levied at 102%.For over 30 years, Peter Berlin has been featured on national television, radio, periodicals, and the news media as a person who first apprehended and questioned shoplifters in retail stores before subsequently founding the first national non-profit organization to help rehabilitate offenders.After getting a BS degree in Psychology from Long Island University, Berlin later began working in retail stores interviewing shoplifters.
