The only people who will really believe the tales of Finland being the happiest country in the world are those people who have never been to Finland and those who have never been outside Finland.<p>With that said, more cold weather nations should learn from the Finns about sauna. It's the perfect ritual to fill out your time in the evening when you just want to relax your body and mind, a much better option to watching TV or scrolling your social media. And you can have a beer in there as well.
It is the happiest because they're conditioned to report that they're "happy" and "content" when asked, regardless of how they feel. It's a cultural thing.<p>In reality, it's full of isolated people, drunking themselves to a stupor every weekend to feel something.
