Finland has topped the World Happiness Report for the past eight years. Besides its welfare system, Finland’s high ranking is also due to its people’s close connection with nature and daily sauna (桑拿). Last June, the country’s tourism agency hosted a master class, offering winners chosen from a social media challenge a free trip to Finland to learn from local masters. I didn’t participate in the challenge, but I was inspired by the idea. So I decided to travel to Finland myself to explore what lies behind this sustained happiness.

In my journey to understand Finnish happiness, I sought out some advice from the local masters. A restaurant owner taught me how traditional foods can reconnect us with nature;a vibrant elderly woman demonstrated the power of focus through diving; a ceramic artist encouraged me to do things by hand — like reading, picking berries, or knitting; and almost everyone emphasized the sauna, which I tried myself there.

Back in New York, I attempted to bring these into my own life: I found a backyard sauna in Brooklyn, shopped at farmer’ markets, and tried growing herbs. However, my kitchen received little sunlight, so I carried my small garden up to the roof each morning, sometimes forgetting to bring it back down at night. Summer storms soaked (浸泡) the soil, and eventually, the herbs died and even the pots were thrown away by someone. Then in late July, I went through a rough patch in my relationship. I ate very little or cried at random. Soon, even the sauna no longer lifted my spirits.

I was sitting at the beach one afternoon, wondering why nature was not making me feel better, when the answer hit me: I was trying too hard to live exactly like the Finns. I’d missed the point of what all the masters were saying: Quiet the mind, and find pleasure in small acts and observations. “Simple things,” Ms. Pajunen, one of the masters, had said. “This is at the core of what Finns have to offer the rest of the world.”
