Not having to worry about healthcare and education takes away majority of burden for most people.

The "formula" is wanting less, consuming less, and changing your priorities. Make people a priority, not things.

Here In Denmark we find it so funny and amusing that Americans actually think they are the best country in the world

No super rich and no super poor. No corruption and a general trust in government. Social support and security. Perfect formula for a happy society! Beautiful

The Nordic countries are societies. America is a business.

I'm a (called Grab) driver. I met a passenger from Finland. Really friendly and nice to talk to. He asked me to stop at the Mcdonald because he's hungry and wants to buy a burger to eat. When he came back, he bought another burger and drink... for me! Wonderful people.

So basically how a country operates when the politicians are not extremely corrupted.

I'm Finnish and one thing that I find very important is that I try to be happy about the things I have, and not be sad about the things I don't have. Because a fact of life is that you can't have everything, no matter what you do. Learn to appreciate what you have in your life, don't worry about the things you didn't manage to get.

As a European it‘s so weird to know that things we take here for granted don‘t exist in the US at all.

Imagine a society without extreme wealth or poverty, free from corruption, with a trustworthy government, and robust social support systems. It's the perfect recipe for a happy and beautiful society!

Very simple, they have a government working for the people instead of corporations.

In America, if they gave new parents that baby box upon birth the hospital would be like “oh sorry, that box isn’t in-network, here’s a bill for $5495.78.”

When I visited Sweden, I was the happiest I had ever been in my life. I rode my bike everywhere. I wasn't watching TV all day. I was living. Taking long walks etc. I can see why Nordic countries are the happiest in the world.

Three elements of happiness: Someone to love, Something to do and Something to look forward to.

1. you can go to school without getting shot the first day

I had a swedish Boss. He used to ask us to leave the office at the end of agreed working hours. Nordics believe in life balance.
