We all remember the disruptive boys in the class. The ones who shoplifted, got into playground fights and started smoking early. Some of these boys were quite simply displaying normal defiance and are now living a good and stable life as adults. But for a few of them, these were warning signs of risky behaviour that later led them on to a life of crime. Almost all teenagers have a tendency to brea

She has survived a brain tumour and hates empty phrases such as “seize the day” and “live in the present”. Despite this, after the tumour operation Ulrika Sandén both researched and wrote a book on what she calls “Contentment in the moment”, an approach to life that she assimilated during her years in Vesterålen in northern Norway. “The present can be terrible.
