Description

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. Journalist Katja Pantzar took the huge leap to move to the remote Nordic country of Finland. What she discovered there transformed her body, mind, and spirit. In this 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, forest therapy, healthy eating, and the gift of sisu. If you've ever wondered if there's a better, simpler 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.
