“Sisu requires a positive exercise of will; it’s a muscle you exercise.”
― Katja Pantzar, The Finnish Way: Finding Courage, Wellness, and Happiness Through the Power of Sisu

“When hard times hit—and this is the beauty of Finland—when the going gets tough, many other countries tighten their grip with more control—what Finns do is they let go. They understand that sisu doesn’t come from holding on harder, sisu comes from allowing people to figure out what they’re going to do next.”
