According to the World Happiness Report, Scandinavian countries consistently rank the happiest. Northern European countries such as Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland seem to have found the formula for happiness.
Happiness in this context refers to satisfaction with the way one’s life is going and a sense of wellbeing. So, what is their secret, and can we try it at home?
I invited Lola Akinmade Åkerström to give us insight into Nordic philosophies that can boost our satisfaction and make us live well and feel happier.
An award-winning writer, speaker and photographer, Lola Akinmade Åkerström has photographed and dispatched from 70+ countries for various publications. Her work has appeared in National Geographic, BBC, CNN, The Guardian, Travel Channel, Lonely Planet, and many more. She has received photography and writing awards, including recognition from the Society of American Travel Writers. Having lived on three different continents, Lola is drawn to the complexities and nuances of culture and how they manifest themselves within relationships.
Join us for this insightful conversation, where Lola gives us an overview of Scandinavian culture and philosophy. We discuss some of the region's prevalent happiness ethos and how it may benefit our lives.
