The Finnish Way

Karen Cass offers a polished narration of Helsinki-based writer, editor, and broadcast journalist Pantzar's audiobook. The work is part memoir and part informal study on the Finnish quality of sisu--loosely translated as courage, resilience, and grit. This audiobook takes listeners on a journey to Finland, exploring Nordic-inspired life choices that seem to make Finnish people happier and healthier. Offering a story of quiet personal transformation, along with a digest of healthy Finnish habits in areas such as exercise, eating, encountering nature, and decluttering, Cass's pleasant British voice is clear and well paced. She sounds genuinely engaged by the material, a quality that will attract those who seek sensible and accessible self-improvement. J.C.G. � AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
