If you ask a Finn, they will likely be as baffled as you are. That’s why Melanie Dower, an expat who has been living in Finland for the past decade, has taken up the charge. Her vantage as an outsider entrenched in Finnish culture uniquely positions her to identify the keys to Finnish happiness that elude the rest of the world and that Finns take for granted. From sauna to strong social safety nets, Finnish life is made up of a constellation of habits and structures that leave its residents relaxed, healthy, and fulfilled.

Since obtaining indictable weight loss drugs is virtually impossible and/or unpredictable at best, I’ve been considering bariatric surgery, so it was very helpful to hear the pros and cons from the author’s perspective. His story has actually encouraged me to take the steps to move forward.
