We're trying something a little different this year at Dead by Tomorrow.  

We'll be creating challenges for each other to work on based on various research, books, podcasts, and YouTube videos. This is our first challenge and it's aimed at helping fight seasonal affective disorder and modeled off of the Scandinavian lifestyle. These nordic countries just keep winning the world's happiest country year after year, with Finland being first the last three years running.

We cover cold exposure, outdoor focused time, The Art of Hygge, and the Happiness Index.

To see some of our research or find more info on how to follow along, check out our show notes at www.deadxtomorrow.com/episode/pursuit-of-happiness-challenge-one-scandinavian-lifestyle-and-sad
