The Finnish Way: Finding Courage, Wellness, and Happiness Through the Power of Sisu - Katja Pantzar
The Finnish Way is a genuinely engaging and practical guided tour of the simple and nature-inspired ways that Finns stay happy and healthy - including the powerful concept of sisu or everyday courage.
Forget hygge - it's time to blow out the candles and get out into the world! Journalist Katja Pantzar did just that, taking the giant leap to move to the remote Nordic country of Finland. What she discovered there transformed her body, mind, and spirit. In this engaging and practical guide, she shows readers how to embrace the "keep it simple and sensible" daily practices that make Finns one of the world's happiest populations, year after year.
Topics include:
Movement as medicine: How walking, biking, and swimming every day is good for what ails us--and best done outside the confines of a gym.
Forest therapy: Why there's no substitute for getting out into nature on a regular basis.
Healthy eating: What the Nordic diet can teach us all about feeding body, mind, and soul
The gift of sisu: Why Finns embrace a particular form of courage, grit, and determination as a national virtue, and how anyone can dig deeper to survive and thrive through tough times.
If you've ever wondered if there's a better, more straightforward way to find happiness and good health, look no further. The Finns have a word for that, and this empowering book shows us how to achieve it.
