Overview
A manual for the evolution of everyday leadership based on the Finnish science of sisuāfrom a leading researcher and teacher on the topic.
Power is fundamental in our livesāwe express it in every conversation, relationship, and choice we make. All too often, we equate force and domination with power, while gentleness and compassion are considered āsoftā or āweak.ā The destructive nature of this skewed perspective has never been more obvious, yet there is reason to hope. With Gentle Power, Dr. Emilia Elisabet Lahti shares an illuminating guide to an emerging shift in the way we define true strengthāan approach that balances resolve with reason, grit with compassion, and personal success with service to the collective good.
Lahti uses the concept of sisu, a central philosophy native to Finland, as the foundation for her investigation of gentle power. āAt its best,ā she says, āsisu is a harmonious approach to life itself, specifically in how we make decisions, relate to one another, and navigate times of crisis and peace.ā Drawing from sisuāas well as aikido, Taoism, neuroscience, systems intelligence, and moreāshe shares an evidence-based approach to help you transform the way you manifest power. Join her to explore:
ā¢ Sisuāits history, its shadow, and the rising global interest in this profound philosophy
ā¢ Leadership and powerāwhy toxic myths of power persist, and how we can dismantle them
ā¢ The paradox of gentlenessāhow inner resilience and true influence arise from vulnerability, empathy, and love
ā¢ Self-careāwhy gentle power begins with the way we treat ourselves
To understand power is to realize that leadership is not just for some selected minorityāwe are all leaders whose choices impact those around us. āEach of us can play a vital role in the collective transformation that the world is calling for,ā Lahti writes. āIt all starts in our own heart, in our own gentle power.ā Here youāll discover a path of wisdom, resilience, and compassionate strength that will elevate your lifeāand uplift others to take part in a new revolution of human empowerment.
