Take inspiration from the Icelanders and get some Þetta reddast, the unwavering belief that everything will work out in the end. — Lost your way in life? Make like the Chinese and find your xingfu, or the thing that gives you real purpose. — Too much on your plate?

The Swedish have a solution — just find your smultronställe, or 'wild strawberry patch', your perfect escape from the rest of the world.
