Download or read book Finding Sisu written by Katja Pantzar and published by Hodder Paperbacks. This book was released on 2019-04-04 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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, 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 water 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.

Book excerpt: We need to transform building the Finnish cultural context of sisu; taking action through perseverance, integrity, and tenacity when adversity strikes and brings us to our lowest levels. If we do not, we will continue to suffer consequences of our invisible challenges that people can not see to understand. This book is the story of Kelly Thune, a brain injury survivor, that lost her career, home, identity, and purpose in the line of duty as a school administrator.It was a blessing and a curse to have the summer off with my children. A blessing to look out my bedroom window at the swarm of middle school boys on their bikes circling wondering if my pretty thirteen year old was home. If she was home, a game of volleyball would start and kids would be laying all over the lawn with the contents of the pantry cabinet littering the grass. A curse because this will never happen again. I lay on my side on my bed, as I look out the window, meditation music playing. The crisp white bedspread is contrast to my suntanned legs curled in the fetal position; toes painted a light summer blue with a touch of sparkle on my big toes. My eyes close and I begin to notice the ringing in my ears. The ringing never ever goes away. Ever. I have a headache and I can't see properly even though my eyes themselves are fine. Neurofatigue keeps me from life as I knew it. Two concussions in two years meant a loss of income, career, and purpose. Ultimately, watching my daughter from that bedroom window will never happen again because I also lost my house. Just when I envisioned a new life for myself and had a goal of becoming a school superintendent, I suffered two concussions in two years; the second in the line of duty as a school administrator. However, I have sisu. The three main goals of this book are 1) to share a story of transformation by using sisu after two serious concussions within two years, 2) to describe how the cultural and historical construct of the Finnish word sisu (noun and verb) can be used as a framework to overcome personal adversity including concussion/mTBI, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, or other mental health challenges 3) and to serve as a reflective question and answer guide and motivational tool of "I can" statements to process and record your pathway of sisu to a new you. Kelly shares the story of injury, and the challenges as a working single mother and an individual that has been forced to redefine herself when she thought everything was in place. By taking a long look back and baby steps forward, she traced how an exchange experience to the country of Finland during her youth was formative in building sisu. Through her transformation after injury she realized why this word has surfaced over and over during her life and how others can build sisu, a fire within to overcome obstacles that seem insurmountable. The main chapters are represented by a theme of the day format; seven themes that describe what sisu was used to transformation and how to build it yourself. Mindful Monday: Building Sisu Requires Confronting Your Challenges Trying Tuesday: Building Sisu Involves Finding Enjoyment While in Discomfort Workout Wednesday: Building Sisu Requires Exercise/Training Thoughtful Thursday: Building Sisu Involves The Role of Reflection Informative Friday: Building Sisu Is Reason and Learning Informed Social Saturday: Building Sisu Involves Making Connections and Strengthening Relationships Reset Sunday: Building Sisu Involves Finding Balance & Restoring Purpose.

Book excerpt: 'A raw and honest account. In Search of Sisu touches on key elements of human psychology, overcoming adversity and difficult decision making on an intensely personal journey' Bear Grylls - - - - - 'Powerfully written and compelling. A must-read for anyone with an interest in adventure' Sir Ranulph Fiennes - - - - - At the age of 22, Geordie Stewart became the youngest Briton to climb the Seven Summits - the highest mountain on every continent. Aged 17, he read a book about Everest and, despite no climbing experience, became obsessed with achieving this ambition. Four years later, despite turning around 150m from the summit on his first attempt, he stood on top of the world. The book offers a raw, emotive and passionate insight into the complexity of teenage vulnerabilities. The real aim in those seven mountains was not climbing glory or breaking records but rather a path to contentment. In Search of Sisu reveals Geordie's transition from a self-doubting teenager battling an all-encompassing eating disorder to a young man who had the belief to realise his dreams.

Download or read book Deep River written by Karl Marlantes and published by Atlantic Monthly Press. This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 786 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three Finnish siblings head for the logging fields of nineteenth-century America in the New York Times–bestselling author’s “commanding historical epic” (Washington Post). Born into a farm family, the three Koski siblings—Ilmari, Matti, and Aino—are raised to maintain their grit and resiliency in the face of hardship. This lesson in sisu takes on special meaning when their father is arrested by imperial Russian authorities, never to be seen again. Lured by the prospects of the Homestead Act, Ilmari and Matti set sail for America, while young Aino, feeling betrayed and adrift after her Marxist cell is exposed, follows soon after. The brothers establish themselves among a logging community in southern Washington, not far from the Columbia River. In this New World, they each find themselves—Ilmari as the family’s spiritual rock; Matti as a fearless logger and entrepreneur; and Aino as a fiercely independent woman and union activist who is willing to make any sacrifice for the cause that sustains her. Layered with fascinating historical detail, this novel bears witness to the stump-ridden fields that the loggers—and the first waves of modernity—leave behind. At its heart, Deep River explores the place of the individual, and of the immigrant, in an America still in the process of defining its own identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From mining to logging to farming, Finns played an important role in the early development of Wisconsin. Although their immigration to the state came later than that of most other groups, their contributions proved just as significant. Finns pride themselves for their sisu, a Finnish term which, roughly translated, means fortitude or perseverance, especially in the face of adversity. They needed their strength of character to help them face the difficult task of building a new life in a new land. Many Finns arriving in Wisconsin, unable to own land at home, hoped to establish themselves as small independent farmers in the new land. They settled mainly in northern Wisconsin, due to jobs and land available there. This book traces the history of Finnish settlement in Wisconsin, from the large concentrations of Finns in the northern region, to the smaller "Little Finlands" created in other areas of the state. Revised and expanded, this new edition contains the richly detailed story of one Finnish woman, told in her own words, of her hardships and experiences in traveling to a new country and her resourcefulness and strength in adapting to a new culture and building a new life.
