Viivi Avellan has clearly been asked this so many times — over coffee, in boardrooms, on flights she probably just wanted to sleep through — that she finally sat down and wrote the answer. And thank god she did, because this book is an absolute delight. Let's address the elephant in the room first, because Avellan does it better than I could: Finns are not walking around beaming. She describes them, quite affectionately, as looking like they've just lost a court case while waiting for the bus — and somehow that one image tells you everything you need to know about the gap between how Finland feels and what the world assumes happiness i...
