The results of the World Happiness Report are in, and the Nordic nations are once again top-scoring. Finland, the top-ranked nation, has maintained its position for the past seven years. The first-ever age-group-specific rankings are included in this year's study, and the results are discouraging for young people in several regions of the world.
Of course, it is a great day! Contentment is a basic human want. In support of "a more inclusive, equitable, and balanced approach to economic growth that promotes the happiness and well-being of all peoples," the UN General Assembly acknowledges this objective. Governments and international organizations ought to invest in the circumstances that promote happiness by respecting human rights and adding environmental and well-being aspects to frameworks for policy, such as the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. There is a substantial positive correlation between average life happiness and the ability of governments to maintain social order, peace, and taxes, as well as to provide public services.

Context ~

In its resolution 66/281 of July 12, 2012, the United Nations General Assembly declared March 20, 2012, the International Day of Happiness. This declaration acknowledged the significance of happiness and well-being as universal goals and aspirations in the lives of people worldwide, as well as the necessity of their inclusion in public policy goals. It also acknowledged the need for a more equal, balanced, and inclusive approach to economic growth that supports happiness, the eradication of poverty, sustainable development, and the welfare of all people. Finland consistently ranks highest on the global happiness index. This tendency may be the result of Finns taking full use of basic joys like fresh air, clear water, and strolling through the forests. Finnish happiness is the quiet, serene kind, characterized by a respect for the way things are and a willingness to stop and take in the small pleasures in life.

These are the six reasons behind Finland's happiness, and when you come, you may discover why ~

1. Unwind in safety
In short, everything is fine in Finland: the public trusts the government, there is little crime or corruption, and public services are provided with ease. Together, these elements build a culture of concern for others and a functional society. This also applies to guests, as everyone is invited. Finland is a secure place to visit.

2. Take in the enchantment of the Northern Lights
Although being so far north might be chilly and gloomy at times, there are advantages to being there as well. In Lapland, the Northern Lights can be seen around 200 nights a year, or every other clear night. Seeing the Aurora Borealis for the first time is an amazing experience that never gets old. The exhilarating moment when green and blue electrical charge snakes run over the pure sky remains inspiring even after many viewings.

3. Maintain your energy in the Midnight Sun.
It is never dark outside during the hottest part of the summer. The sun briefly disappears beneath the horizon in the southern part of Finland before rising once more. In Lapland, the sun rises and sets for up to two months during the Arctic Circle; the further north you travel, the longer it shines. Everyone is bursting with enthusiasm at this moment.

4. In a sauna, sweat out the negativity.
For a population of slightly more than 5 million, there are 3 million saunas in Finland. The Finnish sauna culture is to blame for this sauna overabundance; this phenomenon is so valuable to Finnish customs and well-being that it has been recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. Take a sauna first if you want to learn about Finnish culture and happiness. Sauna time is very closely associated with lakeside living for many Finns. With 3 million saunas and 188,000 lakes spread out over the nation, there is more than enough room for everyone to work off their bad energy.

5. Speak with the locals
There's a joke about Finns: when they chat to you, an outgoing Finn stares at your shoes, while an introverted Finn looks at theirs. A Finn likely informed you of it if you have previously heard about it. Despite the common misconception that Finns are reserved, this is not always the case. The true essence of the Finnish personality is talkativeness, hospitality, and warmth of heart; these traits make for contented inhabitants. Many people in Finland are really happy to tell you about their experiences and introduce you to everything that makes the country so wonderful.

6. Re-establish a connection with the natural world
Forests are constantly close by and easily accessible in Finland. It takes less than thirty minutes to reach a national park from Helsinki's center, and just fifteen minutes to get to a neighboring island. Finland boasts more than 40 National Parks with plenty of hiking paths, scenic drives, and places to set up a campfire and enjoy a starry night. Variability and diversity flourish in all of Finland's forests, which range in size and shape from the icy marvels of the North to the luscious Southern woodlands.
