What makes us happier? - The formula for happiness | DW Documentary

Why are the Finns the undisputed world champions when it comes to happiness? They have topped the United Nations’ "World Happiness Report” eight times in a row. Is it nature, saunas, tango, or karaoke that brings the Finns so much happiness?

Many Finns have an alcohol problem. Russia is a direct threat. The economy is stagnating. Yet the vast majority of Finns feel happy. Finnish actress Meri Koivisto sets out to discover what the formula for happiness in the far north could be.
