It is always happy hour in Helsinki!
Finland was dubbed the world’s happiest nation for the sixth consecutive year in the annual World Happiness Report, released Monday.
The list is largely based on Gallup World Poll evaluations on matters such as GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom, generosity, and corruption.
“Citizens of Finland’s strong feelings of communal support and mutual trust” were factors in helping the country navigate the COVID-19 pandemic and again grab the top spot, authors of the study wrote.
“Additionally, Finlanders felt strongly that they were free to make their own choices, and showed minimal suspicion of government corruption. Both of these factors are strong contributors to overall happiness,” the report continued.

isn’t that a FASCINATING historical anomaly??
SSRIs work.
Interesting because I was thinking that the women did not look classically nordic.
They have been accepted into NATO and are awaiting formal membership.
The angst is relieved by that and by watching the quality of Russia’s military in action.
Indeed it is.
one of the whitest countries on earth...
but that has no relation to the study...
I like cold. Hot weather gives me anxiety.
I would choose Finland over the US any day. Hungary and Serbia are the best countries in Europe, but Finland is probably the best Western European country.
Andorra and Lichtenstein also seem happy and serene.
Not for me. I would move to a near artic circle country in a minute. I love being inside with electric lights and cozy fires and candles.
I LIVE on the Gulf Stream.
Everyone in Northern Europe loves the Gulf Stream! I love it at its present 82°...
Older dictionaries have maps on the inside-covers that display that apparebt anomaly...
Yes you are correct Finnish women are a Fino/Ugric people more similar to women from Estonia and Hungary.
The angst is relieved by that and by watching the quality of Russia’s military in action.
That might be a little bit of it.
But to be fair, that doesn't explain the previous 5 years.
I know but that wasn’t really what the throwaway post 7 was about and my response was really a throwaway response to it.
Well what country is the hippiest?
Yeah, it was just light banter. :-)
Although I must say “security concerns” must not be considered much, what with Israel coming in at #4.
No need to join NATO if they are so happy.
Cold climate and weather brings clarity and higher IQs.
When it is cold take a good walk outside. Breathe deeply and take in lungfuls of glorious clear air. A gift from God.
Proven by moi.
