Can this Swedish tradition make you happier at work? - BBC News

: )

I’m sorry and fika happens twice a day? With that amount of sweet stuff for each time how are the Swedes not all morbidly obese. I like my pastries, cakes and cookies and probably have too many but even I thought the amounts per sitting seems far too excessive.

Yeah........let's just ignore the fact that Swedes are also some of the biggest consumers of antidepressants. Something tells me that might have something to do with their happiness as well.😂

My dear BBC giournalists, i beg you not to send This is piece of news from Sweden to your italian Colleagues......🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 it would be a disaster!!!!!

It sounds like every other countries coffee tradition...only with a swedish name.

What if you are coeliac? How does fika work for us?

WE LOVE SWEDISH FIKA! 😍😍😍

Lebedew c match rothegruh it nakaut ne nastoiachey.

For Italian men, fika is the first thought waking up each morning

RIP AVICII 🥺😭😭😭

А что в бумаге есть стекло, да есть. Но следовательно разве, телевизор есть в колбасе, если он даже там есть, то это не бумага и не стекло. А если есть бумага и стекло, и там есть числа, что зачем вы не платите, при чём здесь загар, то это и сказал вам деньги платить maney, а мне не заплатили, заплатите.

Eating a lot of sugar and getting high on caffeine is not what happiness is.

Yup its called skyving😅😅😅

We Koreans have breaks similar to fika at workplace. It usually lasts 30min to 1 or 1.5 hour. Those lame jokes and private talks….No wonder Koreans and Swedish are notorious for their high rates of suicide

Best way to start over the working day with a cup of coffee and some pastries, the rest is just success. I love Fika!

Заплатите мне деньги за подводные реки, и miccycyppy Которые должны. За on the and Google Go, wheris We ather обещали и должны maney, cays peRechiclenia, platite anothere вас накажут. А вы мне on Swezdyu zaplattily.

As an Italian i can confirm that the Fika is a way of life for us

Anglosphere: our revolutionary new research suggests that breaking from constant work to relax and connect may be good

Everyone else: yes maybe

It reminds me coffee-breaks (in deed, tea-breaks) we had at Russia's famous gas company. At 11 and 16 o"clock, semi-official, but we had a great time and we could talk about everything.

Вы maney не заплатили, заплатите. Вам голубей фотографировали. Когда вы все просили вам помочь, вам помогли. Вы просили дать вам бессмертие, вам дали. Вы просили фотографировать вам кофе, вам дали. Здесь вы пишите, что платите gde эти perechyslenia, заплатите.

lolz i find this amusing they put a name, in this case ‘fika’, on something that alot of culture already has been practicing and they market it as ‘unique’…this is not unique to Sweden😊

i would buy coffee for all my colleagues if they would leave me alone and not talk to me 😂 Fika seems like a great way to get rid of some of them for atleast a while

😊 Вы деньги не заплатили, заплатите.

А мне за разетку не заплатили, это не законно, заплатите. neid net perefwod, 😊🎉❤🤬 maney. Thery's fika.

Wonderful

Back in Brazil me and my coworkers would practice fika everyday, but it doesn't have a official name. Although, if I had to give it a name it would be "unallowed lazy work break" 😁. There would be lots of gossip, laughing, and nonsense funny talk.

😆 I don't understand how Swedish People look so thin if they have a mandatory Fika with so many cups of Coffee and such fattening Delicious 😋 Cakes full of Sugar. How can you stay thin and don't suffer from Diabetic Problems? I personally traveled in Sweden 🇸🇪 😅 and drank their Coffee 3 cups 😁 ☕ each time, and the Swedish coffee was excellent. However I didn't touch any Swedish cake with all the sugar. Swedish People are Wonderful. Efrat. Israel

I will

No wonder they’re so happy, they’re consuming an incredible amount of sweets. Don’t you crash afterwards though and what about getting sugar cravings on the weekends?

I used to work with a Swedish girl here in Australia and she introduced me to fika! It’s the best! It can just reset your day.

While in America they do not even have basic workers right's.

Italians! I'm the only Italian here who's bursting with laughter ?😂😂

it's nice to have a coffee/tea breaks once in a while!

It's almost like merienda in the Philippines.

In Bengal we call it "chay adda" same concept and older :)

Well for many of us having to have small talks with colleagues we don't like, is more stressful than actually working :D

I've never drank coffee

"Do not talk about politics or religion" really describes our times..

I could never say to my German colleagues "let's have a Fika" 😅 😂

This is for the north european cultures, were you do not really socially interact at the workplace, so you need a kind of frame to do that. In the south for example people and colleagues wiil talk to you the whole time, so why would they need to have a fika in the first place? :D

Hilarious...! 🇸🇪🍰🇸🇪

What about the coffee seller does he also take a break 😅😅

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This video is stupid. Coffee originates in Africa/Middle east. They've been doing this for centuries. Coffee breaks are not unique to Sweden.

Jag tror det är lite orealistiskt lol

Sounds like it contributes to both hygge and lykke.

Dear me, love the idea but what would a celiac do with all this gluten?
