What is the great lesson we have with the pain we go through in life?
By adopting an action mindset known as ‘Sisu’.
Sisu is a Finnish concept described as stoic determination, the tenacity of purpose, grit, bravery, resilience, and hardiness. It also seems to contribute to something that I have named the action mindset: a consistent, courageous approach toward challenges that at first seem to exceed our capabilities.
This is where RJ speaks with Emilia Lahti, the founder of Sisu Labs.
In her work, she integrates elements from both science and spirituality and what she views as the biggest challenge of our time is that of consciousness and how to support people in self-realization. The purpose of this is to have a competitive edge too because to be compassionate, human-centred and have integrity makes people work better and it creates better results in the long run.
Emilia has a master's degree in social psychology from the University of Tampere in Finland and in a master's in applied positive psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. She is a former student of Dr. Martin Seligman and began researching the Finnish construct of sisu under the mentorship of MacArthur Fellow recipient and research professor Dr. Angela Duckworth in 2012.
