🫣 **Also, the long-awaited, much-anticipated, hotly-contested premiere of ME IN A VIDEO. I promised if this went on for a year I'd show my face. Well, year's up(!), so I put myself in this video 7 times. Can you spot all of them? I'm like Map Waldo 🤪.

The happiest country in the world has up to 7 months of winter, a few hours of daylight, and a tax rate as high as 65%. That may not sound like a winning combination for everyone, but it is for Finland, which was named the happiest country in the world for the sixth year in a row.

The new World Happiness Report was released in March 2023. The annual reports asks 1000 people in each of 137 countries to rank how they feel about their life. And Finnish people feel pretty good. Better than anyone else, by a wide margin.

So what makes the people of Finland so annoyingly happy?

I read the report so you don’t have to (not that you had to). Finland’s got a lot of things that experts think help, like:
1. Sisu: everyone mentions Sisu when talking about this report. It’s a uniquely Finnish concept that admires grit, determination, and resilience. It’s every Finn’s inner strength to push through the worst odds. Finn’s take great pride in their sisu.
2. The right to roam: In Finland, everyone can hike, bike, fish, sail, or ski pretty much anywhere that isn’t too close to a house, regardless if its private land. As long as you respect it, you can use it.
3. Saunas: Most Finns have a sauna or two. In a population of 5.5 million, there are over 3 million saunas and most Finns take a sauna at least once a week. Besides getting sweaty, saunas are shown to improve physical and mental health in as lot of ways.
4. Free Healthcare and Education: Part of those high taxes go to a robust universal healthcare system and free school for everyone through university.
5. Generosity & Equality: schools and healthcare go a long way to providing a somewhat level playing field for the majority of people. On top of that, there is a national pension system that is available to everyone, not just those that pay into it. There’s also a housing first policy which gives the homeless permanent housing before they secure a job.
6. Trust: Finns trust each other, they very rarely lie, more than 80% trust the police and some of their prisons are open: no gates, no locks, and guess what? Inmates are less likely to re-offend!

To be clear, it’s not all perfect and Finland’s not the only country to have a lot of these things (the other Nordic countries share similar concepts, which is why it’s not surprising they’re all ranked in Top 10).

But, the thing I heard the most about why Finland is the world’s happiest country is surprisingly that it’s really not that happy. Not in an all-smiles bright cheery sort of way (if you know someone from Finland chances are you’re aware that they’re not always smiling). They don’t expect life to be perfect, try to enjoy it when its pretty good, and have support to lean on when it’s not. In fact, understanding you don’t have to be all smiles all the time to be happy is kind of the point.
