Sauna like a Finn and you too can be happier

Saunas are not a status or status symbol for Finns, and no one wants to live without a sauna, whether it's a house with a courtyard or a rented apartment.

Sharing a sauna with others is also a way for Finns to connect emotionally. The conversations in the sauna are all about real topics, and even some big decisions are made in the sauna.

Many Finnish babies who are a few months old have their first sauna experience, and then never stop throughout their lives. This naked way of revealing goes straight to the depths of human nature, and it also shapes the Finnish people's ill-mannered and polite character.
