Benjamin Franklin once said: "Happiness lies in the small conveniences and pleasures that occur every day, rather than in the moments of great sudden happiness that rarely occur." Finland, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Sweden rank among the happiest countries in the world. With an emphasis on balance and connection, each of these countries has developed its own way of life. Millions of Scandinavians enjoy a healthy work-life balance, high standards of living with less pressure, less stress, while having more time for everything they enjoy and love to do.
