Health & Fitness. Self-Improvement. Nonfiction. HTML:An engaging and practical guided tour of the simple and nature-inspired ways that Finns stay happy and healthyâ??including the powerful concept of sisu, or everyday courage
Forget hyggeâ??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 usâ??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 ac

    Some great advice, tips, and general knowledge of the Finnish (and Nordic) way of life. Such a practical way to look at life. Slower, more deliberate, and ideal ... IMHO. I picked up some steps I want to take to be healthier and happier. ( )

    I read the chapter I was most interested in, about winter swimming (outdoors). Browsed some other chapters.

    Hygge and now 'Sisu'. I'm sure there are some people who can find wisdom in these philosophies. Whether the Finnish people generally follow this philosophy was less clear. And that lack of specific information was one of the major flaws in Pantzar's book. Much of the philosophy in 'Finnish Way' lacked any data-based support for its claims. It's great that folk go outside all year round and that physical activity is so valued. Immune system response to the activity is probably not news but winter swims and then saunas? And other claims? I'd have found the memoir less new age if some medical data were provided. ( )

    Ended up I'll again put back on Prednisone, sometimes I think I can feel my bones crumbling from all the steroids I have been prescribed over the last five years. Anyway, always trying to find a different way of managing my flare ups, and so I am drawn to books that show people handling things in different ways.

    SISU
    Pronounced "see-su"
    A Finnish concept that dates back to the 1950's.
    A unique type of fortitude, of resilience, of not giving up in the face of a challenge, big or small, that anyone can develop.

    See, I needed some or all of that, and I quite enjoyed this book. Much common sense but also some little things with big health benefits. Cold water swimming for mental health and pain relief. Well, I don't live where that is a possibility, I live near a river but not fond of river snakes so.......I tried a cold , few minutes shower, I am very suggestible, and I think it helped a bit, made me feel relaxed anyway. Will try again. Good tips on diet, exercise, just moving, and much on a positive mental outlook. I'll keep practicing, can't hurt and may help. ( )
