Disclaimers: This ranking is a UN thing, so you know it rewards the socialist-oriented.

Finland has a relatively high suicide rate — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_rate — and the long winters of course are tough. Also, alcohol consumption is pretty high: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_alcohol_consumption_per_capita

But the 7 “steps” (derived from anecdotal observation):

1) Spend time in nature
2) Slow your pace of life
3) Saunas and heat (or heat and cold)
4) Respect the old ways
5) Respect the laws of the land and abide by them (got to by the stretch of noting how ethnically and culturally united they are with less third-world immigration, especially, and less crime, than almost anywhere else)
6) “Sisu(sp?)”, a Finnish word for stoic determination that let them fight off the Soviet Union
7) Following God’s law—got to in a real twist from Finland, particularly considering that Finland is among the most irreligious countries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_irreligion)

For a soi-disant lurker, you make some valuable contributions. This is a solid synopsis/critique.

4) Respect the old ways

So no progressives who want to destroy history and rewrite it.
