We also asked our reporter find out how to embrace worries and she came up with a great set of useful ideas. And to those of you who want to make a big change in 2017  ''At Home Abroad'' offers inspirational stories of people who made their dream come true and moved abroad . 


Spring is here and so is our classic "World’s Dumbest Criminals” feature to lead our annual humor issue. We’re sure that the photo feature "Did Someone Say Cheese?" will make you smile as will "Where the @#$% Am I?" and "Strange Attractions," a story about the world’s oddest museums. And our legendary humor departments are full of family-friendly jokes. Happiness is not only a good feeling; happy people seem to be more successful in many areas of life as our story, "Why It Pays to Be Happy," reveals. We also give you great tips on how to be smarter, which will help you be happier. Enjoy spring and all the good things it brings.

Spring is a time for renewal and hope. In our March issue, we have two great stories that offer hope against all odds. "The Prisoner and the Guard” is about an unusual friendship between an inmate and his warden that transformed the young criminal forever. The Book Bonus, "The Elephant Whisperer,” is also about an unusual bond—between a man and the elephants he saves from death. And for people suffering from, or affected by, Parkinson’s disease there’s good news. Check out “Parkinson’s Now: What You Need to Know." Enjoy reading these uplifting stories and all the wonderful things spring will bring you.


In February, we traditionally celebrate the Reader’s Digest European of The Year.  Our choice for 2018 is an extraordinary social scientist and activist from Austria who advocates for women as agents of change. In her latest initiative, Edit Schlaffer works tirelessly to help mothers identify and tackle signs of violent extremism in their own children. This issue also includes great health advice from top doctors about how they protect their own hearts. And our feature about Germany’s apprenticeship program reveals why it is the envy of the world.


It’s a new year and the editors of Reader’s Digest would like to make it a healthy and happy one for all of you! In the January issue, we have stories about power foods hearty, words that help you live better and the amazing link between belief and overcoming illness. We also take you to two places of extremes: the freezing cold of Lapland and the edge of darkness of space. In the feature "The Great Forgetting" we reveal what science has discovered about our childhood memories. Surprise: we remember more than we realize!


This month we are celebrating Christmas around the world. Our photo feature "Oh, Christmas Tree," captures how a number of European cities dress up for the holiday season. "Christmas Guitar" is a story about buying a special holiday gift, which unwraps memories of another cherished purchase. In “Miracles in Real Life," we share four stories that will touch your heart. Enjoy the holidays and the great content Reader’s Digest brings to you this month!

It’s fair to say that our love for pandas has saved them from extinction. The Chinese have been enormously successful breeding them in captivity, but now comes the real question: can pandas born in captivity survive in wild? Read our feature to find out more. Also this month: A plane crash left Dorine Bourneton disabled. Years after that accident she returned to the pilot’s seat to become the first disabled professional pilot.

"Remembering Chantal" is a story about a cancer patient fighting a deadly illness with humor and grace. "Hard Driving Sisterhood" takes us to the Moroccan desert, where women compete in a car rally that tests drivers’ speed and wits. 


September is an opportunity for a fresh start and a chance to return to the commitments we may have put aside during the summer months. It’s certainly a great time to start learning new things. That’s what Canadian Craig Davidson did when he took a job as a bus driver for disabled kids. Fall is also a good time to get medical check ups—one of the most important being a colonoscopy, a screening everyone should have. And why not start saving for the next summer vacation by learning to haggle like a pro? Enjoy the fall season and this issue. 


In August, we celebrate nature: "Nature Cure" shows that the solution to many of our mental issues is to live near green spaces, even if we don’t actively use them. We have also a list of seven natural remedies that can help you with ailments like sleeplessness and rheumatoid arthritis. We get a lot from nature but we also want to give back. In “To Save a Whale" we show how people rescued a giant mammal washed up on a beach in British Columbia, Canada. And, if we want to get out of our busy lives and leave everything behind us, our recommendation is Chile’s Robinson Crusoe Island. Solitude guaranteed.


Human intelligence comes in many variations.  But nothing is more important than being emotionally intelligent. It helps us to  get along with other people, it helps us to make good deals and decisions. Research shows that it is also the secret to a happy life. In this issue we also give you tools to test how emotionally smart you are. We know that dogs are smart, but very few of us know how smart and helpful they can be. Read more about how really smart dogs are raised.

Young and old living side by side is improving lives of everybody. That’s what Finns and Dutch have found out. Read more about this interesting experiment in the June issue. We also investigated how good is the fish we eat, and is it really what the label says?  Summer time is vacation time and many of us plan to fly to far away places. A must read for every traveller is the story of the first cross the Atlantic flight 90 years ago.

What happens when a skydiver gets an epileptic seizure before his parachute has opened or a fishermen has to jump into the freezing waters of the Arctic sea. This months' issue brings to you two dramas in real life that showcase the great human spirit and heroism.  Another hero is  Margarethe Vestager, EU’s commissioner of competition, who has taken on the world’s biggest corporations.  A job that is not for the faint-hearted.  The best way to integrate refugees into society is to give them a job. Our story tells how Germany is doing just that.

The April issue is packed with ordinary people doing extraordinary things like five year old Canadian girl, Lexi, who saved lives of her mother and brother; a Russian helicopter pilot that survived arctic cold and polar bears; and five Europeans who changed their careers in mid-life.  The World’s Dumbest Criminals is a proof that crime doesn’t pay -- though it might make all of us laugh!
