@nprofile1q... Iām afraid I donāt watch Finnish TV and Iāve spent so long here Iāve gone native in many ways, but I think the āhappinessā thing boils down to:
1. public services (mostly) work
2. you can trust other people and feel safe (mostly)
3. the state is (mostly) competent when it comes to worrying about, and dealing with, the big things
There are lots of caveats to all of these, but then there are in every country. And the whole Finnish happiness thing is I think, really overanalysed. Including by me, just nowā¦ š
Itās not about being happier so much as it is about feeling like there are no bad surprises lurking around the corner, literal or metaphorical.
