Alexander Maximov has lived in Finland for over 25 years. During this time, he built his business and made many connections, allowing him to gain a deeper understanding of the Finnish mentality.
Finland is a country where clear lakes reflect the endless northern sky, and the air smells fresh, like pine trees and snow. Helsinki, Turku, and Tampere are cities where ancient traditions coexist with modern design and a relaxed pace of life. This is the birthplace of Nokia and Angry Birds, Fazer chocolate and Valio dairy products, the best Fiskars knives, and the legendary Finnish axes. But Finland's greatest treasure is its people: reserved, reliable, stubbornly pursuing their goals, and truly free.
In this book, you will learn:
- Why don't people wear slippers in Finnish homes and can't shower after 11:00 PM?
- Why do people in Finland pay a tax for the right to watch TV, even if it's not on?
What does the Finnish flag symbolize, and why is it flown at both birthdays and funerals?
Where does the word "sisu" come from, and how did it become a symbol of Finnish will?
