In the bookGentle Power, Dr. Emilia Elisabet Lahti shares an illuminating guide to an emerging shift in the way we define true strength – an 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. Drawing from sisu – as well as aikido, Taoism, neuroscience, systems intelligence, and more – she shares an evidence-based approach to help you transform the way you manifest power.

Join her to explore:
– Sisu – its history, its shadow, and the rising global interest in this profound philosophy
– Leadership and power – why toxic myths of power persist, and how we can dismantle them
– The paradox of gentleness – how inner resilience and true influence arise from vulnerability, empathy, and love
– Self-care -why gentle power begins with the way we treat ourselves
