[00:00:03][music] >> Fika plays a very important role in Sweden. But why is it so important?

[00:00:09][music] And could fika actually be the secret to Swedish happiness? Many people see fika as a contribution factor [music] to happiness at work.

[00:00:20]But wait, now you might be thinking, "Isn't this just a coffee break? Every [music] country has those." And that's a fair question.

[00:00:28]But the difference with [music] fika, in my opinion, is that it's deeply collective in Swedish culture. [music] And the idea is that you give yourself full permission to step away from your work for a while and [music] allow yourself to be fully present in the moment and enjoy fika with [music] others.
