About this listen

In this episode, I sit down with 19-year-old Norwegian actor Isak Macody Falck to unpack how culture shapes our relationship to happiness. We talk about the more reserved nature of Scandinavian social life, the pressure of Norway’s infamous “party buses,” and why solitude feels more normalized—and even valued—across the region. Isak shares how acting, humor, and intentional alone time help him stay centered, while I reflect on hustle culture, FOMO, and the challenge of slowing down in New York. Together, we explore what the happiest countries get right about solitude and how different environments influence our emotional well-being.
