The Finnish Way: Finding Courage, Wellness, and Happiness Through the Power of Sisu | 
so-soAt times this book felt both obtuse and a little smug, I hate to say; I mean, who could've guessed that living in a place with some of the world's best air quality, bike-able cities, generous social supports, and an abundance of green spaces would lead to better physical and mental health?! I wanted to roll my eyes at times, but also, my kingdom for an invigorating daily cold swim followed by a steamy sauna! I'll take aspirational reading any day.
So pleased that Katja Pantzar has written an essay for our photography collectives new book! Nervous to share this with the world - especially with our cover ( knowing how opinionated I can be on book covers - creating your own is super hard!!). Let me know what you think …https://www.map6.co.uk/shop/finland-the-happiness-project-book-and-archival-print
Figured it was best to keep up the momentum of reframing my health, both physical and mental, going into the end of this chaotic year!
pickI throughly enjoyed this book. I loved reading about the Finnish culture and why jumping into freezing water for 30 seconds in actually good for you.

I went to Finland 9 years ago and fell in love. I do hope to go back

As soon as I saw this book I had to adopt it. In it I found a sense of home, deeper understanding of my heritage, a bit of nostalgia, and inspiration to make some changes and chase better well-being. I‘d recommend this to anyone! Read a full review as applied to #mentalhealth & #wellbeing via the link!

That moment when the book you‘re reading mentions a book you bought on the same day you bought the book you‘re reading. 😂
I was gonna read Ethics 101 and actually got 12 pages in but I think I need to put that on hold to read The Finnish Way because I am just too excited. 😁
Going to Barnes & Noble for my weekly self-care drink, snack, & browse when I found this gem! 😍 I IMMEDIATELY had to adopt it!!!
Sisu is such a big part of my life. It‘s gotten me through many an obstacle. But there is so much more I could learn and share with my clients. I do strongly believe in Sisu I named my counseling business in its honor (Sisu Lumi Counseling).
I cannot wait to read this and share it with clients, litsy, and everyone!!!
