If there's one place in the world that seems to have work-life balance and all-round wellbeing down to a tee, it's Sweden. Known for its Northern Lights, coffee culture and laid-back, laissez-faire approach to life, Sweden has long been hailed as one of the happiest places to live.
Case in point: Nordic and Scandinavian countries were voted happiest in the world for eleven years between 2012 and 2023. As per the UN's World Happiness Report, those who live there have the best economic, governmental, and societal wellbeing and, as a result, happiness levels. Last year, Finland snatched the crown for the sixth time, with Denmark and Iceland coming in close behind in second and third place.
