In Finland, saunas are an important part of daily life for many people, including Juuso Raukola and his family. Saunas are seen as a place to calm down, reset the mind, and process daily experiences. Finland has a high number of saunas and consistently ranks high on happiness indexes. The country’s success in achieving happiness is attributed to factors such as a consensus society, well-functioning democratic institutions, and generous welfare services that promote equality and social cohesion. Finland’s history of resilience against potential threats from neighboring Russia also plays a role in shaping its society. The country’s strong military preparedness and focus on security contribute to a sense of calm and stability among the population. However, Finland is not without its challenges, including issues related to asylum seekers from Russia, racial discrimination, and recent incidents of gun violence. The country continues to work towards addressing these challenges while maintaining a focus on resilience and preparedness for any potential threats.
