Sisu Lab
Sisu Lab Podcast explores the inner fortitude of sisu its deep human expression. Sisu is an ancient Finnish word often associated with determination and courage in the face of adversity. Beyond that, it is a life philosophy and a path for refining one’s character. In this podcast, we explore sisu as a way of becoming more focused, courageous, loving, and free.
Hosted by Elisabet Lahti, PhD, author of Gentle Power: A Revolution in How We Think, Lead, and Succeed Using the Finnish Art of Sisu, the Sisu Lab Podcast weaves together research, personal stories, and practical insights. Elisabet has pioneered research on sisu since 2012 and has completed multiple endurance feats in her ongoing inquiry into inner fortitude.
This podcast is an invitation to meet your own sisu up close.
