What really makes people happy—and what can we learn from the countries that seem to have it figured out? In this episode of Tapping Into Uncomfortable, Dr. Reade Hubert takes us on a quick pre-summer excursion into the cultures of Finland, Denmark, and Iceland to uncover the secrets behind their top spots on the global happiness charts. From the grit of sisu to the coziness of hygge and the intuition of innsaei, we’re unpacking what these ideas really mean—and how they might just shift your perspective.
Plus, we take a hard look at the not-so-happy side of modern life: hidden "forever chemicals" in everyday items and how Gen Z is rewriting the rules of work-life balance in today’s America. Oh—and if you’ve been curious about CRISPR and the future of health, we’ve got you covered.
It’s a smart, engaging conversation perfect for those summer days when you're ready to challenge your thinking. Tune in and get uncomfortable—in the best way.
