Finland is the happiest country in the world, and according to a native psychologist, a lot of it has to do with these 3 things: no comparison, lots of time in nature and trust built communities. Simple enough, now the challenge is how do we translate their wisdom into actionable steps in our own life?

I'm a psychology expert in Finland, the No. 1 happiest country in the world—here are 3 things we never do For five years in a row, Finland has been ranked the No. 1 happiest country in the world.

It can be a thin line. But that line that draws a distinction is fundamental.

Well my friends happy failing. No one likes to fail, but we need to get good at learning, and there is very little learning without failure. It's gonna suck, it's gonna get messy, and it will probably be worth it, right? Let's get to it. 💪

Nothing grows in the absence of trust. And everything improves in its presence.

With trust people are more likely to share openly about their struggles, mistakes and ask for help when needed.

With trust people are more likely to engage in healthy communication patterns, and cooperation is enhanced.

Trust is the precursor of healthy relationships and healthy relationships create healthy work cultures. The kind where we all want to work. The kind where everyone deserves to work. So trust is kind of a big deal, right?

A benefit mindset builds on a growth mindset, when we understand that our abilities can be developed – and we also understand we can transform towards a more caring, inclusive and interdependent perspective.
It is called “benefit” mindset because it is concerned with the life-long process of learning how we can be the transformation and realise our unique potential in a way that serves the wellbeing of all.

Developed by Ash Buchanan in collaboration with a global community of contributors, benefit mindset is grounded in the understanding that fulfilling our potential is about more than how smart, driven or growth oriented we are. More completely, it is about how well we are able to transform how we come to understand our place in the world, compassionately attend to our individual and collective shadows, and become partners in the wellbeing of all people and all living beings. While a growth mindset has many advantages over a fixed mindset, what truly makes us thrive is our capacity to realise our potential in a way that nurtures our uniqueness and serves the wellbeing, not only of humans, but the entire community of life.

We believe in a world where work doesn't subtract to your life, but rather adds to it. A work environment of empathy, trust and safety should be the rule not the exception. Agree?

It really is, isn't it?
