Professor Micael Dahlen was recently interviewed in DN (Dagens Nyheter) about the joint effort between The Center for Wellbeing, Welfare and Happiness and Bhutan.

Today is the International Day of Happiness, a UN initiative to highlight the importance of well-being. It’s also the day the World Happiness Report is released – the global ranking of the happiest countries.

But what does this ranking actually mean for Swedes? And why is it something to celebrate?

Micael Dahlen and the Center for Wellbeing in Worklife (CWWH) recently embarked on a meaningful visit to Tokyo, engaging in insightful discussions on workplace wellbeing and international collaboration. The trip provided an opportunity to exchange knowledge, foster new connections, and strengthen ties between Sweden and Japan in the field of happiness research.
