Finland retains its title as the happiest country in the world for the seventh consecutive year, according to the latest World Happiness Report. This annual report surveys nearly 150,000 people across more than 140 countries to gauge self-reported happiness. Other Nordic nations are also shining bright in the top 10 rankings, with Denmark securing the 2nd spot, followed by Iceland at 3rd, and Sweden at 4th place.
Finland's culture plays a significant role in promoting positive well-being, with its emphasis on trust in institutions, access to nature, and low stress levels. Moreover, many Finns are raised with a strong sense of prosocial behavior, where helping others is deeply ingrained in their society. This, coupled with Finland's commitment to fostering positive workplaces and maintaining a healthy work-life balance, contributes to its ongoing happiness success story.
