UPDATED 2025 EDITION
In its first 100 years of independence, Finland has gone from colonised Russian province to a world-leading Nordic nation, with the highest levels of education, equality, entrepreneurship, human capital, trust, ethics and the most freedoms and choices in the world. They have been ranked as the most literate, law-abiding and happiest people in the world. This small country is frequently rated as having the best quality of life, being the best place to work or be a parent, the best place to grow up as a child, and recognised for enjoying the purest food and the cleanest environment.

Sisu translates is more than simply ‘grit’ and ‘resilience’. But what is it and where does it come from? This book explores the dynamics of how sisu is more than just mindfulness, it is about attitude and mindset. The Finns have combined the best of Western modernity with Eastern wisdom.

This book is about how Finns have embodied sisu and harnessed it to achieve their personal, political and community goals and ambitions. This is a book about Finland and reveals what lessons the Finnish way of life has to offer to discover your own purpose.

We all have sisu. We just don’t yet know it.
