The Finnish Educational Textbook
on Positive Psychology
This best-selling textbook has become one of the primary educational resources for Positive Psychology courses in Finland. The book consists of 16 chapters including topics such as positive pedagogy, workflow, mindfulness, a critique of positive psychology, strengths in aging, happiness vs. meaning, and strengths in adolescents, to name a few.
The book includes a chapter entitled "Sisu - An Action Mindset", in which I present my research on various aspects of sisu, including the action mindset, sisu within communities, post-traumatic growth, and the relationship between adversity and well-being.

The Finnish Book on Sisu
This book shares the stories of Finnish people from all walks of life as they overcome adversity, use creativity to transform barriers into frontiers, and take action against all odds.
It outlines a message of hope in tough times and shows us that there is always more to us than meets the eye. One way to remember this inner fortitude within us is through witnessing and celebrating the inspirational stories of all the many sisuesque humans in our world.
