Finding sisu : in search of courage, strength and happiness the Finnish way
Pantzar, Katja2018
Books, Manuscripts
Defined as a particular kind of resilience and bravery, sisu is the Finnish approach to well-being that is turning lives around. Anxious, overweight, and reliant on sleeping pills and anti depressants, writer Katja Pantzar returned to Finland, the place of her birth, where she discovered the key to living well was in living courageously and with integrity. Cultivating sisu through simple, functional exercise, a Nordic diet, and spending time outside in space, water, silence and nature, her physical and mental stamina grew; her anxieties, fatigue and pain left behind in the sea. Discover the ways in which you too can integrate this age-old philosophy of hope and perseverance into your life, wherever you are in the world, whatever challenges you may face.
