An 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 huge 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 happiest populations in the world, year after year.

Topics include:

  • Movement as medicine: How walking, biking and swimming every day are good for what ails us--and best done outside the confines of a gym
  • Natural mood boosters: Cold water swimming, steamy saunas, and other ways to alleviate stress, anxiety, insomnia, and depression
  • 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 special 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, simpler way to find happiness and good heath, look no further. The Finns have a word for that, and this empowering book shows us how to achieve it.

This book is wonderfully written and very inspirational. Filled with lovely stories and examples and with simple and no nonsense advice, it motivated me to change the way I look at my body, mind and nature. I’ve listened to it twice already and I am sure I will listen to it in the future as well.

Very inspirational book

A dear friend of mine recommended this book on her Instagram story, so I thought why not give it a try. Well it was one of the best decisions I’ve made and it changed my life on a deep level. I started changing my life and implementing easy and reachable tasks. I feel so much more connected to myself, to nature and to my family. I’m going out into the nature every single day no matter how the weather is and I am enjoying it so much. I highly recommend this audio book :)
