Beskrivelse
Tim Bird stumbled upon Finland in the early 1980s and decided to stay for over four decades. Throughout this time, he has witnessed Finland's evolution from a Soviet bloc neighbor to a leading European nation often hailed as the happiest country on earth.
Exploring Finland's unique culture and the truth behind its happiness ranking.
Does Finland truly live up to its reputation as the happiest place in the world? Known for their love of heavy metal, strong spirit (sisu), and hearty drinking habits, do the Finns themselves embrace this label? Bird shares his personal journey to becoming a Finnish citizen while also reflecting on the insights of a 19th-century British traveler.
This thoughtful and engaging look at Finland-home to saunas, the Northern Lights, and the beloved Moomins-shines a light on the country's distinctive culture, language, and landscape. Through Bird’s eyes, readers gain a deeper understanding of what contentment means in Finland and consider what lessons might be drawn for life beyond its borders.
