We are happy to have been borned at the correct side of the Finnish/Russian border, lol.

I think the issue here is the fact that many people here do not appreciate the things we have. If the research is supposed to study the quality of life, it doesn't necessarily tell how happy people are. It just tells how happy people should be, compared to everyone else. And as we all know, that's not how it works. People always want more, and people always find something to complain about.

It's a big fat lie, that's why.

I don't know anyone who is happy.

Nordic Countries❤ #Finland #Denmark #Sweden

I'm a Finn and I wish I wasn't born in this country.!

I like how you make immigration and far right sound like bad sides that has impact in happiness? Maybe they are positive sides to have tight community where you can feel safe and trust others? Looking at the Sweden where multiculturalism only causes unhappiness/danger.(no go zones)

Why is liberal democratic pricipals a must? The right is to balance the left. If we go too "far" to any end of the political spectrum it is not good. Balance is the key.

I have lived in Suomi for years and l find the Finns gloomy and introverted!

Having Russia next door gives them a good perspective of how good they have it.

There is no "far right" element in Finland.

People tend to confuse joy or gladness with happiness. Those are just temporary, whereas happiness is more permanent state of being. It's being content with your life and what you have, not wanting for anything. I find it amusing that people want to overanalyze the matter.

sweden otherside, Russia on east. Heaven and hell.

Hahahhaaa. like your humor in the end :D But seriously, a good and correct analyses of the bases and preconditions to be able to feel satisfied instead of misery, being the case in here!

Congratulations - you really are a Finn! Everything was so good in your critical video, until you started to talk about debt, ageing population, retention of foreigners and so forth... Why on earth do we Finns always try to find a reason for not feeling special or even good? Myself as a Finn, I am so tired of that attitude. But you seem to have adapted to it fully. PS. "Happiness" is a bad choice, as so many believe that it has to do with laughing or smiling etcetera - it really should be "contentment".

Very well explained, and funny ending ;-). One of the things you didn't dwell into, is also Finns' very high will to defend thier way of life from violent outside agressions.

One of the most suicides in the world. That maby why, because those miserable ones kill them self.

Very well done video, kudos!

Finland might be the most adaptable country in the world. Finnish man are very state-minded and love restrictions and laws, maybe because they otherwise feel lost.

I see a lot of mental issues here in Finland (as a Finn). However, as I've lived in other countries as well, I've realized that Finns are rather unstressed and unworried

Answer to title: Because america will take their oil if they don't

great channel

🔥 content and production, U gon make it big keep up the great work bro

Still waiting till people learn about Finland's depression/mental illness rates :D

Finland's alcohol consumption is in the middle of Europe. Watch the statistics in the video "Country alcohol consumption comparison."

I thing the Finnish happiness is based on some level to the certain amount of introvert nature of Finns. We define for ourselves what happiness means to me personally and try not necessarily achieve some socially accepted description of what you need to have to be happy, like money, luxury and fame. That's why we're not being unhappy for not having gained "the goals", which in this perspective even aren't things that make people happy, and to which most the of people in the world never reach and are unhappy for it, for not reaching the supposed expectations that really aren't our own. I guess there's the answer for a lot of unhappiness in other countries, too.

to be quite honest alcohol makes me happy.

This whole 'happiest country' is such misleading bs. I'm a native and I don't see anyone happy anywhere. People are slightly content, but everyone is complaining about the living cost crisis and the utter incompetence of public finances. This country is going to the tubes. It's easy to be content while there is still free money coming in, but the gravy train is gonna stop eventually.

Safety + welfare state = base nordic country level of "happiness". The addition that brings everything is sauna. I mean it. The Finnish sauna culture is unique and sauna has been shown to both help with physical as well as helping mentally.

Before listening, my guess on your title, alchohol.?

Good video! I think the one aspect that sets Finland apart from the other Nordics when it comes to scoring high on life satisfaction is our recent history. A part of Finnish mentality is that things could always be worse. Because Finland had such an incredibly shitty 18th, 19th and first half of the 20th century it stayed in our collective memory. I mean, by the time my great-grandfather was 50 he had seen WW1, a civil war, wars in border regions (heimosodat) and Estonia, an armed fascist rebellion (that luckily failed), WW2 where we fought bought the Soviet Union and then Nazi Germany alone, had his nephews and nieces sent abroad for safety, had 11% of the population internally displaced and then needing to pay back reparations after the war. Such a history leaves its mark on generations. Then Finland became one of the wealthiest countries in the world in just a few decades, with a Nordic model that boosted the living conditions of pretty much the entire population. Wealth, security, trust and inclusiveness plus the collective memory of misery means great relative satisfaction.

Eurovision should be banned. Even retrospectively! 😄

If you believe in a country with Santa Claus and happy people, you might believe that Finland exists. 🇫🇮

Right wing politics, mainly heavy cutting looks like something evil but we have to see how finns were on a same board with reality. Finns did vote this, not because they would like cutting but of fear of tomorrow. Of course they will have to step on someones foot but majority want the debt away and have the life quality of early 2000. Honestly I didn't believe they could do it. surprised me.

u are that. and islamic doctrine is fascist. muslims r better than islam.

left wing populism includes intersectional hatred for cis hetero able bodied white men

Populism is basically saying popular, stupid shit.

Was surprised to see Landry on a different channel.

Wow, what a great video! This explains brilliantly what most finns already intuitively know. I must link this video whenever the topic comes up online.

From 1 to 10, we don't think 10 is the absolute best kind of life. More like, this is the best I can get so 10 it is.

If it's about smiling and looking happy, then all these African villages must be number one. We all have seen these happy childrem that's rolling some wheel with a wooden stick wit the most beautiful smile there is.. Just look backwards and see all the other children's that's running after your old Toyota Taxi... They must be the happiest in the world, for, sure

Well that's what I call being happy. I would not want to live in a country where people are homeless or where people don't respect eachother. Trust eachother is important..

ohh please … look at Indians and Pakistani immigrants in the US killing it financially, they don’t complain about racism. If you can’t cut it out there you have to come up with an excuse; you are not succeeding and “it must be because racism” lol 😂

David E. Kaiser explains to Glenn Loury how more whites than blacks were red lined. Continuing to not mention this is not ok. Most DEI topics are not as simple as DEI proponents make them out to be. Be sure to do your own research. Immigrant African Americans are some of the wealthiest demographics in the country. Average personal spending choices among African Americans significantly affect their financial outcomes, for instance roughly 20% on luxury items, Coleman Hughes writes about this. Blacks are turned down from black owned banks more than from white owned banks, Sowell writes about this. Just to be clear, inequality is not necessarily inequity. Inequality is often the norm, not the exception, and it should not be assumed that an inequality is a de facto inequity, this is one of the biggest misconceptions continually promoted by DEI. People don't take action because the foundations and solutions are shaky upon further inspection. Defund the police is a disaster. Abolishing the nuclear family is questionable at best. The list goes on.

A member on the board for the national endowment for democracy. 🤢🤮

I am generally happy. For me it's cheap rents even in Helsinki that allow me to use money on other things. Most western countrys have a housing crisis.

Replace 'happiest' with 'the most content' and there you go.

Who Needs 3x reasons when One will do? Russia has stopped attacking them.

As a finn, i appreciate you explaining this to us as well :P

Dude,there is al ot sick puppies here! 15years florida open my eyes!
