Find your sisu: the Finnish concept of resilience, grit, and
determination Finnish-born writer Katja Pantzar was raised and
educated in Canada, where the consumerist and materially obsessed
culture left her feeling empty and unhappy. When she received
treatment for depression in her mid-20s, the doctor treating her
simply prescribed medication and sleeping pills, with no thought
given to her lifestyle. After moving to Finland, Katja discovered
sisu: the Finnish approach to well-being defined by a special kind
of resilience, grit and courage. She embraced this way of living
and experienced a dramatic turnaround in her health and happiness.
Simple, functional exercise (as simple as riding her bike to work),
the Nordic diet, spending time in nature and taking up cold-water
swimming together with a more courageous outlook all served to
transform Pantzar's life: her anxieties, fatigue and pain left
behind in the sea. In Finding Sisu, Pantzar offers an honest (no
place is perfect - Finland is not an exception) and uplifting
account of her physical and psychological health transformation
from a slightly lethargic depressive into an energetic optimist.
She examines the link between sisu and the Nordic reputation for
excellent wellbeing and overall life satisfaction, and looks at the
ways in which we, too, can apply sisu to our lives - wherever we
may be. Finding Sisu is a personal but also practical approach to
the power of this 500-year-old philosophy and how it can help us
all to lead healthier, happier - and braver lives.
