Youthful Joy: Where the World’s Happiest Under-30s Are Thriving.
Max Bennett and Lisa Vega dive into the surprising (and slightly envy-inducing) list of countries where young people are actually thriving.
How did Lithuania snag the happiness crown—vodka, basketball, or affordable rent? Why are Israel’s under-30s fueled by hummus and optimism, while Serbia’s just laughing through a tumultuous history?
From Finland’s frosty grins to Denmark’s hygge obsession, we explore the quirks that keep these nations smiling. Expect unapologetic insights, sharp humor, and a little side-eye at the countries that didn’t make the cut. Spoiler: It’s not all TikTok and sunshine.
Note: This project explores the new creative potential unlocked by generative AI, showcasing how a single person, in just two hours, can curate (not create, but curate) a polished podcast series. I recognize the critiques around AI-generated content and the potential for digital clutter but invite you to take a listen on your next walk or drive and see what you think.
