Bliss
Follow you bliss. You might recognise this mantra from mythologist Joseph Campbell. But where will your bliss lead you? There’s a book called The Geography of Bliss, in which self-confessed ‘grumpy journalist’ Eric Weiner travels to various countries in search of the elixir of happiness. One that fascinated me was Iceland – and this week I experienced something similar in Finland, which scores consistently well on life satisfaction. Why? The three-part secret sauce seems to be strong social welfare, a vibrant cultural life (everyone we met is an amateur artist with numerous creative hobbies) and proximity to nature (especially wilderness).
