The Happy Pod: The happiest country in the world

Available for over a year

Finland is a country repeatedly crowned the happiest in the world, and the Helsinki Happiness Hacks event introduced people - selected from thousands of applicants across the globe - to Finns willing to share the secrets of their contentment. These include skateboarding, dancing with friends, messy art, walking barefoot, ice cream for breakfast, and of course, a sauna. And we explore how happiness is measured and why a dose of pessimism does not preclude happiness. Presenter: Jackie Leonard Music: Iona Hampson
