None of them are genuinely happy—it's this collective delusion they've all convinced themselves of. They actually believe they won some cosmic lottery by being born in these barren, frozen places where the sun disappears for months. You simply cannot maintain real human happiness in environments that hostile to basic biology. What gets celebrated as Nordic contentment is just an entire population that's taught itself to mistake endurance for fulfillment. They've managed to rebrand living in harsh, depressing conditions as some kind of evolutionary advantage, when really they're just making the best of a bad geographical hand.
