Publisher's Summary
Year after year, Finland is named the "Happiest Country on Earth". What's their secret?
If you ask a Finn, they will likely be as baffled as you are. That’s why Melanie Dower, an expat who has been living in Finland for the past decade, has taken up the charge. Her vantage as an outsider entrenched in Finnish culture uniquely positions her to identify the keys to Finnish happiness that elude the rest of the world and that Finns take for granted. From sauna to strong social safety nets, Finnish life is made up of a constellation of habits and structures that leave its residents relaxed, healthy, and fulfilled.
In this short guide, Melanie lays out the surprisingly simple and often accessible steps to living as the Finns do.

Insightful.
I like the outsider’s perspective on what makes Finnish culture unique, and how these characteristics may contribute to the overall happiness of the Finnish people.
