A Master Class in Happiness: Finnspiration

The headline caught my eye—as headline writers and their algorithms always hope. 

I took Finland’s free masterclass on happiness: Here are 3 things I learned

That’s right, this Northern nation—regularly ranked high in global studies of the happiest places—now offers an online class to help you live and flourish like a Finn. It started as an in-person experience, a contest that offered lucky winners a free trip to see the Finnish way of life up close. Then they turned it into a free, online class you can take from anywhere. 

It’s hosted on the Visit Finland website. It probably includes a hard sell to come spend your tourist dollars in their country. The class is free but requires registration, so anyone who signs up can expect to be added to their mailing list and may find ads for Visit Finland popping up in surprising places. 

If they’re right, a visit to Finland may be in your best interest, too. Learn more about how to Find Your Inner Finn.
